Chapter 35: The 'Demolition Team' Strikes
In the past few days, under Charlie's frenzied urging, the storage of grain and timber has been very satisfactory.
Charlie, who has a good grasp of the new spell system Ainstone, has done a lot of great things with the new spell system arcane these days.
For example, it connected the low-level water elemental plane and completely solved the freshwater crisis in Beila Village.
It's a pity that a single dwarven craftsman can't be counted on to meet the great and grand framework of the Earl Lord's development.
The construction of the sewer pipe was so tired that the dwarf who had been slapping his chest and packing the ticket before almost died suddenly, but even so, the progress was still very slow.
The 'Shelter' program is also on the agenda.
Charlie found a low-level plane that was not in danger.
According to the experience of the Miami Mentor and her personal examination of that plane, the most lethal in the plane is a half-human, unicorn-like giant insect.
And this bug has become a scorching insect feast after a firestorm from the irascible red-robed arcanist, at least after taking it back, watching the Knights of the Seven eat extremely happy.
Charlie refuses to eat any insects.
She is not the two comic combinations of "Hakuna Matata", and she does not have the slightest affection for the insect feast.
The villagers conducted several 'disaster drills' under Charlie's arrangement, and finally the whole village evacuated to the other dimensional plane in an orderly manner for only 7 and a half minutes.
For these villagers, who have never received disaster training, this is a valuable achievement.
The fly in the ointment is that Charlie's insurance plan is not going well.
Only 20 percent of the people in the village responded to the call.
Only 20 percent of it was on the face of Charlie, the lord, who had greatly improved their lives.
Lee, who faced the murderous and kind, comforted Charlie:
"The poor and frightened are like this, and if they have something good, their mother-in-law will immediately hide it.
Even if the dragons were to loot, they wouldn't try to find the hidden belongings from their little dilapidated houses. ”
Charlie doesn't care about the villagers' bezoars, she is worried about what will happen to those who don't have 'accidental disaster insurance' after the disaster.
Today, she came to Beila village again to persuade the remaining villagers to buy the accident property insurance she had introduced.
After all, natural and man-made disasters, she will help a little as a lord, but it is impossible to point to her to pay all the compensation according to the order and not charge any price.
It's not that she's cold-blooded, mercenary.
It's that people who are raised like that will do nothing all day long, hoping that natural and man-made disasters will happen, so that they can get something for nothing.
As long as Charlie can't maintain the support of the villagers, then these villagers are very likely to become a sharp blade that will eat her.
Old Tom, who was basking in the sun, sat up when he saw the city gate open, and most of the people who usually came to the village at this time were lords.
Sure enough, Charlie, dressed in royal blue aristocratic clothes, rode a strong pack horse into the city gate.
Old Tom trotted up to meet him, and there was no sign that it was a thin old man with silver hair.
"Good day, Lord Count."
Charlie dismounted sideways, "Morning, Tom." ”
"Are you here today for that?" Tom was the first villager in the village to purchase accident property insurance.
Although his knowledge of insurance is also very limited, and even suspects that this is a disguised tax increase by the young nobleman, it does not prevent him from responding positively.
After all, Old Tom had been the tax collector of the previous lord, and he knew some things better than ordinary villagers.
The village has an inexhaustible supply of fresh water; learned how to dry salt in seawater; There is a comfortable habitat; The food on the table was abundant, and every household had a surplus.
This is all brought by this lord, so what about paying some money to this great lord?
But the stupid village women would not have figured it out, and they were taking care of the money they had received from the last traveling caravan as if they were taking care of their life.
Old Tom shook his head slightly, "With all due respect, my lord, you have to be tougher if you want to achieve your goal.
In this way, they will only get an inch and will not hand you a copper plate. ”
Charlie couldn't help but hold his forehead.
is really helpless, and the little old man in front of her who 'supports' her doesn't understand the concept of insurance.
In and out of the words, it is almost said that the insurance she implemented is to 'ask for money' from these poor villagers.
"If this is the year-end tax, I'll let them see my toughness, but ......"
Before Charlie could finish his words, he stopped abruptly.
She looked up at the sky in confusion, and she raised a hand to cover her brow bone because of the harsh sunlight.
"What's that? Sunspot......? ”
Inconspicuous black dots appear on the sun.
Charlie thought it was a sunspot, but found that the black spot was getting bigger and bigger.
Almost instantly, a picture was crammed into her mind in a '100,000 urgent' way.
It was an epic painting.
Two magnificent dragons fight where land and sea meet.
As soon as they swept the tail, a mile of forest turned to flat ground, and a patch of hundred-year-old giant trees broke off at the waist.
They trampled on one by one, the earth shook, the houses collapsed, and the rocks landslided.
As soon as they rolled, the monsters that dominated the Warcraft Forest turned into puddles of flesh and mud in an instant.
This is the end of the screen, which is a warning from the prophecy arcane.
Charlie was scared into a cold sweat, and the calf pillar felt a little weak, and his heart was flustered.
But at the same time, she had to force herself to compose.
She is the lord of the land.
If she herself is panicked, who can she expect to redeem the people in the territory?
Where is the growing black spot on the sun, what is the sunspot, it is a living dragon!
It's not a 'mini' version of McGregort's juvenile dragon, but a genuine, lethal adult dragon that is the strongest in this world.
Charlie didn't think much of it, "Tom! Urgent! Exercise! Evacuation drill! ”
Afraid that the villagers would delay longer because of panic, Charlie, whose calves were already a little weak, shouted directly.
The villagers had long been given a rule that those who took emergency refuge and slacked off were detained for three days and denied food.
Otherwise, they don't have to work and take care of food, and they are afraid that they will not have to rush to the dungeon.
We cannot be expected to reason with ignorant people in a short period of time, and only force and fists are the best way to implement the policy.
When old Tom heard this, his old arms and legs ran fast, and a new big bell was hung in the place where he had just sunbathed.
This bell is the work of Miami.
Emergency evacuation is to ring it.
'Knock', 'knock', 'knock'!
The heavy bell rang out, and the villagers of Beira had to put down their work no matter what they were doing.
Some people cursed in a low voice.
After all, the evacuation drill doesn't add another delicious dish to their table.
Every now and then, the villagers are disgusted.
They don't see any benefit in doing so.
Some even speculated that this was a deliberate attempt by the Earl Lord to toss them in order to loot their poor savings.
Even so, I still have to actively participate in evacuation drills.
Because whoever refuses, or slacks off on the exercise, will get a great value package of the castle dungeon 'three-day tour' plus 'three days of weight loss'.
After all, there is already a precedent for being killed as an example.
Charlie opens the exotopic portal labeled 'Vault'.
The situation was urgent, and she didn't leave Old Tom by her side this time to help her maintain order.
"Get in!" With that, Charlie pushed Old Tom into the plane gate.
One after another, villagers entered the portal, and so far, everything has been in order.
The bell at the entrance of the village is an eternal magic item made by the Miami Mentor using the [Constant Technique], but its work is very weak, and it can only teleport the bell far enough.
But such a bell, which looks very chicken, has played an important role in this catastrophe.
The people in the castle and on the edge of the Monster Forest heard the bell that represented the emergency drill and knew that it was another 'disaster evacuation rehearsal'.
"Crewe, let's go, call it a day."
"Oh, Ike, you go first, I'll swing a few more hoes, and turn the soil as far as I can before the next caravan brings seeds." Crewe, who kept turning the soil, said without looking up.
Ike shrugged.
"Hurry up, unless you want to be hung on the walls and starve for three days. Yes...... It's annoying! I really don't know what the lord is up to......"
……
Unlike these people, the former mercenary, the seven-member active knight group knows how powerful.
They don't care too much, and every time they exercise, they treat it as a real disaster.
Li Yi went against the norm and took out his whip for the first time and whipped it at the villagers who were eager to grow in the ground and turn over the soil.
"This is a disaster drill! Are you deaf! ”
……
The villagers are still being evacuated, but the 'black spots' are getting bigger and bigger.
I can see some outlines.
Like a flying seabird, but Charlie is about to blow up.
It should be far away, and you can already see the general shape, so how big does this have to be?
Thinking about the scene of the prophecy she had just seen, her scalp was numb and her hands and feet were cold.
At the same time, however, something was wrong among the villagers who rushed to the village's assembly point.
"O dragon god! What is that?! ”
With the man's exclamation, the villagers who had been walking towards the portal in an orderly manner looked up one after another.
"Birds? Oh!!! The dragon god is above! Is that?! …… That's a dragon! It's a dragon! Run!!! ”
Even if Charlie tries his best to avoid a catastrophe panic, as Murphy's Law says, the more you are afraid of something, the more something will happen.
Seeing that the evacuation team that had lined up before instantly became a mess of 'wool', Charlie was anxious and angry, and he almost wanted to kill the person who had just 'whooped' and shouted by his neck.
But at this time, the top priority is to find a way to get the villagers to evacuate calmly and orderly, otherwise the casualties in Beira Village will only be greater.
Fortunately, at this time, Kana, who was riding a horse, came back first.
Charlie didn't have time to explain, and raised his hand to the sky.
Kana followed.
Suddenly, the whole person stiffened.
Fortunately, Kana didn't 'rehash' with Charlie at this time.
"What do you want me to do?" Kana was also very anxious, and she wanted to inform Lee about them.
Tell them to stop wasting time on those stupid villagers.
"There will definitely be villagers who are worried about the property in their homes and have no time to waste on them.
As soon as you see those rushing towards your home, you use magic to stun them, and then wind spells directly 'send' people through the gate. ”
