After Lin Ling exchanged all the remaining guild contribution points for the proficiency of the Strange Object Crafting Skill, he finally upgraded the Strange Object Crafting from Beginner to Intermediate and was worthy of the title of Second-level Connoisseur.

Having accomplished his goal, he politely declined Magister Richard's mission, and instead of accepting the task of "assisting" in the attack on the monastery, he walked out of the tent alone and looked at the Golden Valley Abbey.

The Rhine Mission, aided by the Yama shark and the hammer of doom, is attacking the monastery.

In front of the connoisseurs of the Connoisseur Guild, the city defense equipment that once impressed the Yama shark was nothing more than a bunch of good-looking toys.

From time to time, magic, arrows, and magic streaked across the sky, dyeing the sky a blinding blood-red.

After tonight, players who participate in this quest may become the heroes of the Golden Valley. But they can never change the land of Golden Valley, and they can't change the existence of Golden Valley Rice.

As long as the Golden Grain Rice can really recover mana......

Lin Ling applied a mage armor to himself, peeling off a ripe ear of wheat from the two corpses of the paladins that were unmanaged, and putting it in his mouth to chew.

The consumed mana is instantly restored.

"Is it really golden rice? No, Demon Seed. ”

Lin Ling muttered to himself as he took a rice seed from the paladin's corpse and put it in his backpack. As long as the mana recovery is actually restored, he doesn't care what the NPC thinks of the Golden Grain.

Lin Ling tore apart the scroll of returning to the city, turning into a white light and shooting into the sky.

"Rush!"

At the same moment, the Yama shark and the warriors of the Hammer of Doom took the lead in pushing the siege engines to the closed gates of the monastery.

With a single blow, the city gate was shattered with a ram with multiple magic attached.

Bathed in the firelight, the Yama Shark felt the expansion of his veins, and war and death stimulated his senses. In an instant, there were more things in his heart that he had not had before, and at the same time, there were some strange thoughts.

If you live in a different place.

That zero, I'm afraid it will still face all this calmly, right?

……

The surrounding scene gradually became clearer, and the noisy voices and malicious gazes made Lin Ling realize that he was back in Rhine City, and he held down the Secret Ritual Codex and applied an invisibility spell to himself, causing his form to disappear from the eyes of some players with ulterior motives.

A level 10 arcane mage is enough for some jealous players to do something inappropriate.

Under the cover of invisibility, Lin Ling walked through the western side of the Rhine, arrived at No. 17 Mining and Metallurgy Lane, his first property in "Eternity", opened the door with the key sent by the system to the backpack key chain, and walked into the main entrance with a faint smell of solid wood.

According to his request, the street side of 17 Mining and Metallurgical Lane was built entirely in the style of a grocery store. Containers, cash registers, and display windows are all available. He walked through the store to the back hall and up the stairs into the basement.

Underground at No. 17 Mining and Metallurgical Lane is the site of the brewery, with a huge sealed wine pool clinging to the building like a beer glass covered with a wooden lid, and a small grain workshop at the end of the brewery, with a graphite shaft wheel connected to a small windmill – the Rhine city is never short of wind power halfway up the mountain.

After visiting the brewing workshop, Lin Ling walked to the second floor of the building.

On the second floor, there is a large reception room with neat firewood in the fireplace, which is not used by the player to keep warm, but to be used for positioning.

Lin Ling turned over a hearthstone under a piece of firewood.

Hearthstone is a homecoming item that can only be used once per hour, and will return to the corresponding fireplace after use.

Each piece of firewood represents a Hearthstone.

When the owner of the Hearthstone is at home, the firewood will ignite the flame, just like now, the firewood corresponding to the Hearthstone held by Lin Ling ignited a raging fire, and the jumping flames formed the word "zero".

Lin Ling put the Hearthstone in his pocket and walked up to the third floor.

There are a total of six bedrooms and a warehouse on the third floor, with six bedrooms surrounding a spacious living room with a spacious balcony at the end of the living room.

The mill's windmill stood on the edge of the balcony, creaking and turning.

From the balcony, Lin Ling could clearly see the whole picture of the main city of Rhine City and the prosperous streets and alleys of Rhine City.

And on the other side of the mountain, where the bells of the Dawn Bell Tower could not reach, were already shrouded in the clouds of war.

How long will this prosperity last after the war?

No one knows.

Lin Ling suddenly had a desire to protect, as long as he stopped the army of the Eternal Night Council on the other side of the mountain, as long as he repelled the infiltration of the underground world in the underground city of Banne, then the prosperity of Rhine City would always be preserved, and the scene he saw would also be preserved.

The breeze in the mountains blew in his face, taking away the anxiety in Lin Ling's heart.

He cleaned up his mood and went downstairs to the grocery store, ready to go to the city office to recruit hired workers and winemakers, and by the way, buy a map of the sewers in the Rhine city.

Lin Ling is not the first player to buy a property in Eternity, but he is definitely the first player to go to the office to recruit NPC hired workers. He bought a property to make money, unlike some players, who bought a house just as an unlimited personal warehouse or simply to fill the façade.

The hall of the office is filled with many NPCs looking for jobs.

"Who is the alchemist's apprentice?"

Lin Ling didn't talk to NPCs one by one to check each other's attributes, it was too wasteful of time. He opened his mouth directly in the hall and asked, "Who is the alchemist apprentice?" I need an alchemist apprentice, note that it is an apprentice, preferably married, with a family dragging, I will provide shelter and work. The monthly salary for a single person is 80 credits. ”

The NPCs present looked at each other, some of them were alchemists, and some were alchemists who were just apprentices.

However, there is only one alchemist apprentice who is married and dragged down by his family.

"Sir, are you looking for an alchemist apprentice?" An NPC in his 30s squeezed out of the crowd and promoted himself to Lin Ling, "I am an alchemist apprentice, 28 years old this year, with a wife and two children, just from the border town to Rhine City, and I don't have a job or a place to live yet......"

"Pack up and go to No. 17 Mining and Metallurgy Lane."

Lin Ling threw the key to the NPC, 28 years old, but he looked like he was in his 30s, married, and the alchemist apprentice who had just arrived in Rhine City from the border could only be the "Goldfinger" Jose and Crowwinnie. Lin Ling glanced at the names of the two NPC little hairy children, Tina and Patton, the Rhine Shuangbi in the future, who would have thought that their childhood would be like this?

"Goldfinger" Jose was the best winemaker Lin Ling had ever heard of in his previous life, and his natural skill "Goldfinger" was able to make excellent wine, although it would reduce the success rate of alchemy. His wife, Claudini, is a "natural accountant" with unmatched financial skills, and she has been wronged to work as a grocery store clerk, but that is only temporary, as long as the next version is updated, Tina and Paston will grow into teenagers of 15 or 6 years old, enough to take on a job in a grocery store.

Lin Ling bought a general map of the Rhine sewers in the office, then went to the Tavern and bought three very specific alcoholic drinks: butterbeer, rose wine and cherry spirits back to No. 17 Mining and Ye Lane, found Jose's family who had settled down, led Jose to the brewing workshop, put the three wines in front of him and asked, "Which one will you brew?" ”

"Cherry spirits." José replied honestly.

Lin Ling nodded, and Jose's answer did not exceed his expectations.

The average alchemist apprentice will only mix beer that no one wants to drink, and Jose knows the recipe for cherry spirits, indicating that this NPC does have a talent for brewing.

Cherry spirits are very versatile, they are needed to make most high-grade mixtures, and its degree is also the highest among the three kinds of liquor that Lin Ling bought.

Butterbeer is mostly used as a lubricant and is also used by tanners when sewing leather goods.

The last one, rose wine, is a common ingredient used in culinary professions, and the cost of raw materials is the lowest among the three wines, only 2 silver coins. It is one of the favorite alcoholic beverages of the NPC nobles, and is sometimes used by blacksmiths as a condensating agent - rose wine and charcoal will smell like blood when fused.

These three alcoholic beverages are perpetually bestsellers in Eternity.

"I'll give your wife a sum of money to learn how to make the other two kinds of wine by next month, and you can use it to buy raw materials and experimental equipment for winemaking." Lin Ling told Jose and walked out of the brewing workshop, found Clauvini who was sweeping the floor at the door of the store, and took 25 gold coins from her, "Daily expenses, the price of the cherry spirits produced is 1 gold coin, 80 silver coins of rose wine, 50 silver coins of butterbeer, and 100 inventory savings must be kept every day, I will check it from time to time." ”

"Yes, sir."

The legend of Clauvini is the daughter of a certain NPC minor nobleman who is impeccable in terms of etiquette.

But Lin Ling didn't care about that, he opened the mailbox in the courtyard, sent and received a few emails, and then went to the storage room to open the storage box connected to his personal warehouse, and took out a stack of canyon village senses for use.

System Tip: Your relationship with Canyon Village has been upgraded to Esteemed (17420/20000), and you can now purchase land in Canyon Village.

After the efforts of Lin Ling's two-headed messenger, Xiao Hei and Xiaobai, and the prosperity of the market. The available balance in his current warehouse account once again broke through the 100 gold mark, reaching 120, which is not a small amount.

It's a pity that the 100 gold coins he hung on the "black market" are still being auctioned, and the transaction price is only 10 yuan more expensive than the current price, but the bidder seems to enjoy the price increase of five cents and five cents, and I am afraid that it will take 10 hours to confirm this list.

It's not easy to do business.

Lin Ling sighed, he was about to close the warehouse, when he suddenly noticed that Xiao Hei had deposited a letter from Farmer Toba.

NPCs also write letters to themselves?

Lin Ling curiously took out the letter and opened it, and saw Farmer Toba writing on the letter paper in a regular manner:

"Dear friends: zero;

I haven't received your greetings for a long time, and I am a little worried, so I specially wrote a letter to your clever cat messenger, hoping that you can come to Canyon Village to meet and discuss the next step of cooperation.

Your most loyal friend: Toba. ”

"What's next?" Lin Ling realized that Farmer Toba had probably saved up enough mana crystals from the trade and needed more supplies to arm their army of wheat field puppets. He temporarily suspended the delivery of animal messengers, took a horse-drawn carriage to the abandoned mine camp, and hiked to Canyon Village.

The road leading from the abandoned mine camp to Canyon Village is still occupied by Swanborough rebels.

However, this time, Lin Ling didn't have the patience to play a tax game with them about how much to pay. He stopped in front of the checkpoint set up by the defenders of Swan Castle on the bridge, looked left and right, found an unobtrusive spot, and flew over the rushing river with wings of flame, leaving the Swan Castle rebels on the other side to continue their dream of sitting on the ground and collecting money.

As for how long their dreams can last.

Then it will depend on how much Canyon Village can afford to pay.
