"Althea, I ......"

Malone felt that his face was a little hot, and he suddenly felt that some words seemed to be really not easy to say.

In the face of Althea's feelings for him, Malone felt that now was a good time to respond - this black-haired girl was innocent, lively, beautiful and generous, and in the past two weeks, Malone had indeed been attracted to Althea.

It's just that if he really wants to say something to Althea to establish the relationship between the two people, Malone is still a little stupid.

"Yikes! Uncle Richard is ahead of us again! Marlon, hurry! Don't let him eat all the bread! ”

To Malone's surprise, Althea didn't seem to have any intention of confessing - she quickly focused her attention on the queue in the middle of the town to get breakfast, and then let out an exclamation and ran away.

"What? This ......"

Malone froze in place - he didn't expect that the relationship he had been brewing for a long time would be the result, which made him wonder if he had fallen into one of the three major delusions of life - could it be that Althea's feelings for himself were completely his own delusions?

"What are you doing? Hurry up, Marlon! ”

Althea, who had already run out, stopped not far away, turned around, and shouted loudly while waving at Marlon.

"Oh, got it."

Marlon shook his head, put his previous "wishful thinking" behind, bent down slightly and picked up Maria on Rubos's back, and ran towards the refugee team with Althea.

……

"Sir Lothar, I have informed the lads. After breakfast, they'll gather around town and wait for your training. ”

The bearded Richard dipped the bread in his hand in the soup from the wooden bowl. said to Marlon

In the largest office in the town hall, Marlon, Airro? Eberlock, Richard the Bearded, and some of the most important figures in the refugee ranks gathered here for breakfast and their first meeting since arriving in Nighttown.

Compared to last night, the refugees looked much better - naturally, with a hearty dinner and comfortable beds. With a warm fireplace and clean clothes, no one still looks as tired as they were two weeks ago.

"I see...... Everyone looks refreshed, and they should have had a good rest last night, right? ”

Malone replied with a smile.

"Don't mention it. I felt like I had never slept in bed...... If Robin hadn't rung the bell in the morning, I'd have slept in the house all day. ”

Paul shouted loudly, causing the refugees to laugh.

"I didn't ring the bell."

Robin was very serious, and heard Paul say this. He put down the food in his hand. A pocket watch with a chain still on it was found through the gap in the belt of the plate armor and placed it on the table.

"I know, I know, what's the spirit, it's not the ...... I gave you"

Paul pouted and muttered that he had stumbled upon the watch in his house yesterday, and had given it to Robin as the "bell ringer" of Nighttown, but he had ended up disturbing his sleep. It's really more than worth the loss.

"Okay, okay, listen to me...... Daddy Elro. The militia is left to us soldiers, but the rest is ...... I'm going to bother you and Uncle Richard more. ”

Marlon waved his hand to stop the senseless quarrel between the two subordinates, and then seriously said to El Ro? Eberlock said.

"I know, but ...... I have to admit that I'm afraid I won't be able to do the job of mayor of the town, after all, I ...... before."

Error? Eberlock said with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Don't say that, Elo, there's no one better suited than you."

The bearded Richard comforted his old friend.

"Yes, Daddy Elro, everyone trusts you and will follow your orders, and the biggest difficulty faced by a mayor has been solved by you, what are you worried about? What's more, our current number of people is still far from a town! ”

Malone also said with a smile.

"I see, I'll try it...... By the way, Sir Lothar, apart from what you said yesterday about not leaving the town, do you think there's anything else you need to pay attention to? ”

Error? Eberlock nodded, and quickly moved into his new role.

"Well, I think the first thing we need to do is to search the town thoroughly. In addition to the materials in the warehouse, there must be a lot of things we need in those abandoned houses, clothes, food and tools. ”

Malone thought for a moment and said.

For the refugees, the remnants of the residents of Nightshade are undoubtedly treasures that can help them spend more time in the twilight forest.

"I see, what else?"

Error? Out of nowhere, Eberlock pulled out a charcoal pen and a few pieces of papyrus, and began to take notes as carefully as an apprentice.

"Also...... I think you should pay attention to boiling the water before drinking it, and then wait for it to cool down before drinking. ”

Malone suddenly thought of a very important point, so he added.

"Drink boiling water? Why? ”

Error? The charcoal in Eberlock's hand paused, then looked up and asked suspiciously.

"Because, of course...... Hygienic! In this way, a lot of diseases can be avoided. ”

Malone replied - he had wanted to say it a long time ago, the humans of Stormwind City, like the Western countries on Earth, like water, which made Marlon very unaccustomed to it, so he planned to take this opportunity to add this matter to the new rules of Nightlight - at least let the refugees get used to it first.

"That's so troublesome, when you're thirsty, do you have to endure until the boiling water cools down? No, no, I don't have that patience. ”

The bearded Richard led the way against it.

"No, drinking boiled water is a must, you don't know, Uncle Richard, raw water is very dirty."

Malone shook his head and said.

"How could it be! Sir Lothar, I know you are a nobleman, and perhaps you love cleaner than I am...... But you can go and see, the wells in the town, the water is absolutely clean and clean, not dirty at all. ”

The bearded Richard laughed.

Now it's Marlon's turn to be dumb - how can he explain to these refugees what bacteria and parasites are in this town where there is no microscope, not even a magnifying glass can be found?

"Anyway, listen to me right, after not drinking raw water, cholera, dysentery...... Many diseases can be avoided. Not so long ago, this town was littered with corpses, and if you don't want an outbreak of cholera and plague, do as I say. Otherwise, the orcs have not yet come, and we will fall ill first. ”

Malone decided to show a little aristocratic authority, he said in an unquestionable tone. (To be continued.) )
