412 War of the Dead, a frenzied society of magic
Lying on a stretcher, felt cold, his bones and muscles seemed to have separated, and he suspected that his eyes would be as green as those of the undead.
After he was injured, the team rushed him down the stone wall and sent him to the medical team. The medical team gave him routine treatment at the front-line medical center, which was actually pouring holy water, debridement, and anointing him with divine oil. Finding that the three-plate axe could not stabilize his injuries, he was immediately evacuated.
Take a golem car and go through the portal to the rear hospital in Beta. It was originally planned to be the third adventurer's square, called Mina Square. The plaza has not yet been repaired, and the Adventurer Service Center has not yet been completed, but the built part has been used as a hospital.
In the hall on the first floor of the hospital, civilian medical workers pushed a pair of mobile stretchers and passed through several openings. At each of the openings sat a man in a cyan robe and a hat of the same color, examining the injuries.
It was a gloomy thin old man who checked on Decker, glanced at it a few times, wrote a list and then turned his head and shouted, "Next!"
At that time, shivered, the next one!?
Could this old man be a necromancer!?
Dekker was then sent to the second floor, where a young girl with a face as white as a dead man used a knife to remove the carrion from his wound. The undead's attacks have an undead aura that corrupts flesh and blood, and can even be corrupted into a living corpse if the head is injured.
The girl in the short cyan robe was very attentive, and the knife was extremely finely controlled, and when the live flesh was picked, didn't feel any pain.
The girl was very delicate, and's accosting heart was about to move, but she saw the girl sticking out her tongue and licking her lips, looking very enjoyable, and even her cheeks were flushed slightly.
Seeing a tattoo on the girl's neck that looked like it had been erased, I could vaguely distinguish that it was a knife and a needle crossed, and there was a finger in the middle, and almost screamed and rolled over.
This is a believer in the Bloody Lady! Strictly speaking, a knife hand who specializes in slashing people alive!
"Don't panic, they've changed their ways, and I'm watching," a man next to him noticed his anomaly and pressed him.
This person has a smiling five-pointed star emblem on his chest, and he is a member of the Fei Communist Party, and breathes a sigh of relief.
He pointed at the bloody girl's knife out of the corner of his eye, and said to the man, "The person who examines the injuries down below seems to be a necromancer!
"You mean the pastor?"
The member of the CPF said: "The priests of the CPF are all on the front line, and the priests of the other gods are busy making holy water, so they can't spare more manpower to take care of the wounded." β
Dekker muttered, "That can't be used either...... These people, aren't they? They're all believers in evil gods!"
Obviously, these guys who play the role of doctors and nurses are the criminals who were arrested in the previous anti-gang and anti-evil operations. really didn't expect that the Fei Gong would bring them to treat the wounded and save people, which is against their beliefs.
"They have made sincere repentance in the labor camps, disconnected from the evil gods, and lost their evil powers," said the members of the Phillips who had the smell of Druidt on their bodies, "and only believers who have confirmed their betrayal are allowed to join this war and atone for their past evil deeds." Of course, they will also be rewarded with reduced sentences and even freedom. β
As soon as he said this, a wounded man next to him screamed: "Oh my God! Who is going to stop him! He is eating my flesh!"
Next to the wounded stood a debrided knife hand, with something in his mouth, shaking his head and waving his hands, and shouted vaguely: "Habit - habit ββ!"
The two guards rushed up and smashed the knife hand to the ground with the butt of their rifle, shouting as they smashed: "Then let go! Why don't you let go!"
The knifeman's eyes were almost out of his sockets, and he seemed to be trying to spit them out, but his teeth did not obey him, and he bit the piece of flesh so hard that the guards had to drag the guy out.
Dick looked at the druid in horror, and then at the girl's knifeman.
The girl shook her head without hesitation: "I will never eat it!
wants to scream, don't swallow when you speak!
Fortunately, the girl quickly finished cooking him and took on the next job.
lay on the stretcher, looking sideways at the shoulder socket that had almost been stripped of flesh, revealing Bai Sensen's bones, and his heart was cold, as if the remnants of the undead qi in his body went straight to his head.
This arm must be useless, and it will not be fully restored unless a high-ranking priest casts a flesh recovery technique. But this kind of high-level magic is very consuming of divine power, even in the royal capitals of various countries, it is very convenient to find a priest, how can it cost hundreds of gold bushels, and it has to be related to it.
The stretcher was pushed to another area, and an old man looked at the injury record, frowned, and said, "If the front-line medical team handles it a little more carefully, the undead qi will not spread, and there is no need to send it here." β
Another girl's voice sounded: "It's good that they can do it to this extent, in the past, the treatment of injuries was all dependent on divine arts, and if divine magic can't be done, they will give up." β
The old man said respectfully: "The trauma technique created by the director is really a blessing for the wounded and sick, not only civilians can treat the wounded, but even assassins, butchers, and even bloody knife hands can save the wounded. β
The girl said humbly: "It is the divine inspiration of my lord and the guidance of the cardinal, I am just following this path, which is also one of the great love of mortals advocated by my lord." β
A red shadow swept into the corner of's eye, and the girl examined his injuries.
The girl made the same judgment as herself: "You have to regenerate flesh, or this arm will be useless." β
The old man said in an emotional tone: "Your name is ...... : Lady Luck has favored you, this is Director Asuna. β
Dick was overjoyed, this girl who didn't look amazing turned out to be the chief member of the Civil Affairs Security Committee of the Fei Gong!
So healing your arm is a gesture, right?
Asuna saw the adventurer's thoughts, shook her head, and said, "I don't know those high-level healing magic techniques. β
's smile froze, and Asuna added, "But we've found some ways to regenerate flesh and blood, and although it's not very mature, it's at least worth a try, would you like it?"
nodded without hesitating, what is there to hesitate, of course he wills!
The old man was also a little surprised: "Is the No. 71 slime sample usable?"
Asuna said: "Ten trials were done yesterday, and the results were very good, but the wounded all said that they felt weird, and I don't know if it was a psychological effect or any sequelae." β
Wait, slime?
Decker's heart tightened again, and it felt like a terrible thing!
"I really didn't expect that slimes would have such an effect", the old man sighed, "why didn't we find out before?"
"It's you who don't want to find out, ChrΓ©tias," said Asuna, "and apart from a massive plague, neither wizards nor priests have ever delved into a cure that is affordable for civilians and low-level transcendents. β
The old man said sincerely: "Yes, now I understand that only with great love can I discover a broader world of true spirits. β
Wait, True Spirit World?
timidly asked the old man, "You don't look like a clergyman......"
The old man laughed, "I'm a wizard. β
Sorcerer!?
Necromancers are just tinkering with the dead, and wizards are tinkering with the living!
Dick rolled his eyes and became confused.
Before fainting, I vaguely heard Asuna say: "Send it to the test area, I'll leave it to you here, and I still have to go to inspect the logistics." β
..................
Asuna left the hospital, processing various messages from her assistant as she walked.
As the chief member of the Civil Affairs Security Committee, medical care is only part of Asuna's concern, and matters such as food, urban construction, and people's livelihood have to be taken care of.
Fortunately, there are special committee members to preside over other affairs, and she is just in charge of the overall situation.
For example, the agricultural and animal husbandry department, which she is now rushing over, is responsible for organizing grain production and is managed by Commissioner Bevero.
The food problem is not urgent at the moment, Richie has received a lot of food from Queen Theresia, and the Kingdom of Hadron has also obtained a lot, plus his own output, which is enough to support the current population.
But Stan, who is in charge of Beta City and immigration, sends a message reminding her to make sure there is enough food. I don't know why, the portal connecting Shadow City and Beta City has not been closed, and immigrants are still pouring in, far exceeding the 40,000 that Li Qi and Hathaway agreed upon.
The more immigrants the better, but the Fei Gong's current ability to bear is limited, before the liquidation, Stan hopes to raise the limit as much as possible, other materials are nothing, food is the most critical.
To the south of Beta City, close to the area of the Ecological Green Park, large warehouses have risen from the ground, which is the agricultural and animal husbandry production base of the Fei Gong.
Each storehouse is a workshop for the production of a type of crop, and yes, the production of grain and livestock here is completely workshop-style, and the experience of the Epsilon start-up is carried forward here.
Asuna was vaguely worried, hoping that Bevero didn't take the druid to a bear in the eco-park for a meeting.
Now the druids on the committee have organized a "society for all things to eat", and spend their days wondering what can be eaten and how to eat it. Once you get together, no matter what you discuss, you end up on this topic.
Fortunately, Bevero and a large group of people were in a large newly built storeroom, squatting on the ground, forming a circle, observing what was in the soil.
Bevero's team is also growing rapidly, in addition to the Crimson Druids of the Fei Gong, there are also druids who believe in the goddess of nature, Rangers, and even wizards who have no faith.
Druids are the most numerous, and there are also primitives, balancers, and developments according to different ideas. The primordial school pursues all return to nature and opposes mortal interference with the "natural phase", which of course cannot be eaten here. Most druids are either balanced or developmental.
The developmentalists are at the other extreme, emphasizing that everything in nature should be used by mortals, while the balancers emphasize that mortals live in harmony with nature. In terms of details, how to use it and how to coexist, they have their own opinions.
Fortunately, the creation of the "Society of All Things to Eat" has brought the two factions together, at least temporarily.
Bevero was very happy to see Asuna: "Great, I was going to ask you to come and see this." β
Seeing a large group of druids staring intently at the weed-like seedlings in the field, Asuna wondered if she had discovered a new food variety.
Befro licked his lips and said, "We've found a scavenging fruit that can absorb the breath of the dead and transform it into a highly valuable crop. It can be eaten as a vegetable, or squeezed for oil, and can also be ground into flour to make various foods. β
Asuna almost jumped up and ate the scavenging fruit!?
"There must be some side effects, eating too much will cause vomiting and diarrhea, just like the chief cardinal said that the yin qi is too heavy. β
"We replaced sunlight with divine light to ripen the fruit and breed new varieties," Befrone said. I want to see if the new variety can only absorb the spiritual power factor in the breath of the undead, and eliminate the power of death and corruption. β
Asuna understood that these druids were using spiritual power to detect the composition of the spirit in this grass.
It sounds like a good prospect, but Asuna is still hairy, who would dare to eat this kind of thing!
"Even if you don't eat it, if you plant it near the nest of the undead, you can absorb the breath of the undead, and even the front line can use it. β
Befro pointed to the scattered black ash on the grass and seedlings: "That's the power of death and corruption that the Holy Spirit Fruit discharges. β
Asuna stroked her forehead: "You even have a name, is such a sacred name really appropriate?"
Beforo said enthusiastically: "There is nothing inappropriate, when the absolutely safe seeds are cultivated, everyone will praise them at that time." β
"This ...... Keep experimenting", realizing that the foodies had elevated the idea of "everything is edible" to faith and tried in vain to stop them, Asuna changed the subject: "The most important thing now is to ensure the production of food." β
When it comes to big things, Bevero isn't ambiguous.
Taking Asuna to inspect other "workshops", Bevero said with a sense of accomplishment: "Our sweat in the Epsilon has not been in vain! Not only have we cultivated all kinds of high-yield crops, but we have also used divine power to manipulate Lingzi, and the technology of ripening crops has also been very mature!"
He stretched out his arms and embraced this large warehouse, which was about 10 acres in size: "The wheat fields here can produce five tons of rye a month! According to the standard of 50 kilograms of grain per capita per month, one warehouse can solve the problem of feeding 100 people." β
Asuna reminded: "Now that we have to solve the problem of feeding more than 100,000 people, do we need to build a thousand warehouses?"
"This is a breeding field," Befrone is confident: "The labor base in the east has begun to draw seedlings, and there are tens of thousands of acres of fields. β
"Adventurers and civilians from other settlements are also planting our new crops, and they have planted tens of thousands of acres just by harvesting No. 7 rye. The process of taking care of the fields is not as rigorous as here, the ripening cycle is extended to two months, and the yield is not as high as here, which is equivalent to thousands of warehouses. β
"Has the labor base been sown?"
Asuna breathed a sigh of relief, the production of adventurers and civilians is difficult to master, and it is impossible to buy all the food they grow, so the practice base is different, it is the exclusive public land of the Fei Gong. Taken care of by the Safeguarding Committee. Before the war, the members of the Fei Communist Party and the citizens of Beta had just been organized to sow seeds, and now that the seedlings have been drawn, the harvest can be counted on.
"If you want to talk about problems, there are also big problems", Befro added: "The consequence of rapid ripening is that the spiritual power of the soil is lost quickly, and we are studying the ecology of spiritual power, hoping to find a way to make the soil quickly replenish spiritual power." β
"In addition, food security is absolutely sufficient, and processing is troublesome. Although it is not my responsibility, the food that can be produced cannot be carefully processed, and it is meaningless to eat more. β
Speaking of processing, Asuna also frowned. There is a serious shortage of manpower, and the civilians in Shadow City, the prisoners sent by the Queen, cannot be counted on.
Befro said: "I can only hope that the magic committee will pay more attention to this aspect." β
Problems that can be solved by machinery are not problems, and this truth is understood not only by Bevero, but also by Asuna.
The processing of grain is a whole chain link, taking rye as an example, from hulling to grinding, the Fei Gong has already built a fully automatic production line in the era of Epsilon pioneering.
But from flour to food, these links are troublesome. The cardinal had mentioned the idea of an "automatic bread machine", but all the automatic production lines and puppet production lines were producing weapons and equipment at full capacity, and it was impossible for Yuzan and Artur to devote their energy to these things.
Therefore, until now, the processing of food has required a lot of manpower.
There were citizens of Beta City before, and there were not many people to feed the Fei Gong, so the problem was not serious. Now that the citizens were filled with auxiliary posts that directly served the war effort, a large number of adventurers were not only fighting on the front line, but also working in various auxiliary posts in the rear, and the Fei Gong had to supply them with food, and the demand for manpower in the food processing process increased suddenly.
At present, the manpower can still cope with it, and even have the spare time to prepare box lunches and even hot pot for front-line soldiers according to the highest standards. If the war is to continue any longer, or to expand in scale, things will be in trouble.
In line with the principle of preparing for a rainy day, Asuna still contacted Artur to tell him about it.
"The Demon Working Committee really can't spare the manpower to do this", Artur's reaction was the same as Asuna expected.
Then Artur made a suggestion that made Asuna's eyes light up: "You can organize a ...... The Living Machinery Guild lets the immigrants of Shadow City design and build the magic machine you want. Although they are not familiar with the magic circle technology, they are proficient in how to access the magic circle and realize the machinery for various applications. β
"Our magic committee can publish the information of low-level magic circles, and if they need it, they can place an order, buy magic circles from us, and then assemble and manufacture them themselves. β
Asuna praised: "Good way!"
For a moment, she thought of not only the "automatic bread machine", but also the "automatic cooking machine", "automatic packaging machine", and other magic tools used to process food.
She decided to go to Stan, the chief member of the immigration committee and her lover, and immediately set about pushing for it.
