Chapter 0137 - Small Business

Arriving at Harmony Village, His Excellency Fabro, the chief alchemist of Coldwind City, also breathed a sigh of relief. He asked for the premium version of the service, and plunged into the guest room provided by the 'Old Bones' tavern, and after simply arranging a ring of vigilance, he fell asleep.

People who play arcane arts, although they have good brains, few have good physiques. Fabro focuses on alchemy, and has been exposed to all kinds of toxic and harmful materials for a long time, and his body is very weak.

A month of exploration in the Black Forest had taught Fabro that his greatest enemy was not a vicious monster, but a hostile environment โ€“ too difficult for a wizard to make his way through the rugged, treacherous woodland.

After sleeping for a day and a night, Fabro woke up from his dream. After a moment of getting up, he had figured out his current situation, and how to deal with itโ€”wizards need to be sane at all times, and they can't be stupid and reckless.

As soon as Fabro woke up, he began to enjoy the premium package of 20 gold coins. Although the rooms in the tavern have just been built, and the facilities are still rudimentary, the service is still nothing to say.

The room has a separate toilet and bathroom. Just ring the bell, and a servant will come to the door. Hot water is supplied around the clock, and as soon as you open your mouth, someone will carry it in a large wooden barrel.

The 'Tavern Butler' also highly recommended the tavern's freshly built sauna. But when Fabro heard that it was a group of big men stripped naked and huddled together, he immediately rejected this unworthy enjoyment. He offered to have a maid to help him bathe.

Breakfast had bacon and cereal, and a plate of sativa boiled in salted water.

Fabro was amazed to see green alfalfa in the Black Forest. This made him feel that the twenty gold coins were not spent in vain. After all, in Coldwind City, the vegetables that the magnates can eat are only mushrooms.

After eating and drinking, and freshening up, the 'tavern butler' also thoughtfully brought Fabro a new coat. For the 'Alchemy Chief' whose robes were shattered, it was just right to maintain decency, which made him even more curious about Harmony Village.

"A village that provides services in the Black Forest, and very close to the unraveling of the mysterious elven ruins. It's hard for those in charge of this place to get rich. โ€

Fabro had a first-hand experience of embarrassment, and he was able to experience the rare services of Harmony Village. He left the room, walked out of the tavern, and called his student Tambos as his attendant, intending to take a good look at the peculiar village.

Tambose was reluctant to do so. After Bane's church's conspiracy failed, he was supposed to return to Coldwind City to wait for his promotion to the rank of official wizard, but was forcibly dragged by Fabro to explore the elven ruins, and nearly lost his life in the goblin lair.

The wizard apprentice had just woken up and been pulled out to work as a coolie. He was furious, but there was nothing he could do. However, when the master and apprentice went to the street, they found that the village was very different from what they had expected.

Last night it was dark and extremely tired, and Fabro and his party went to sleep when they arrived at the tavern. Now it was dawn to find that the village was large in size, large in population, and quite busyโ€”more than a thousand people lived together, and this was already a small town in the Northland.

"It's hard to imagine such a lively settlement in the Black Forest." Fabro stood on the planned village street, turned his head to look at his students, and said with a smile: "Tambos, you seem to be hiding something from me?" โ€

Tambos hurriedly shook his head, "Teacher, you misunderstood. That's when I noticed the changes here, which wasn't like this before. โ€

"Really?" Fabro snorted twice, obviously not believing. Right in front of him, more than a dozen villagers were leveling the road with baskets and stones. "The person in charge here is not running a village at all, his ambition is not small."

The roads in ordinary villages and towns are muddy and narrow, full of potholes, and are natural dumping grounds for domestic sewage and human and animal excrement.

But Zhou Qingfeng planned the road of Harmony Village, and subconsciously set up two-way two lanes. The road surface is not hardened with cement, but it must also be rolled and smooth, and there must be drainage ditches. He felt that this was the minimum standard, and it couldn't be worse.

"But how much does it cost?" Fabro snorted, "I asked the servants in the tavern, and they all said that Lord Hugo, who is in charge of this place, spent three thousand gold coins to renovate the village. This number shocked even me. โ€

Three thousand? Victor. Hugo is really willing to spend money!

Tambos was also stunned, he thought that not long ago, a few wizard apprentices had scraped together three thousand five hundred gold coins to buy the goods that Zhou Qingfeng had obtained from those elven ruins. Unexpectedly, the kid changed hands and spent the money.

Three thousand gold coins, Fabro's income in a year is so much.

The 'Chief Alchemist' sneered again, "It's time for Coldwind City to pay some attention to this settlement. I will write to the Lord of the City and the Magical Society. After all, this place will be very lively in the next few years. โ€

Tambos's heart became heavy, he had a good relationship with Zhou Qingfeng, and both sides were mutually beneficial. The teenager who occupies this place can even be his foreign help. But if Coldwind City realizes the value of this territory, suppression and even snatching it is inevitable.

Construction was going on everywhere in the village, and the master and apprentice walked around, and they didn't feel much for the untouchables who sold coolies, at most they wondered why they worked so hard and were so efficient.

Still, there was one place in the village that caught Fabro's attention. When he returned to the tavern to write a letter, he found that the tavern adventurers had sneaked to the back of an unfinished house. He was also curious, so he followed.

Beneath an unfinished wooden wall stood a hideous skeletal horse, babbling about a deal with adventurers. The horse had several scrolls of paper next to him, and after a few words of conversation with the adventurers, one party paid the money and took a certain scroll.

Fabro looked at it for a long time and didn't figure out what's going on? Until the adventurer in front of the skeleton horse was empty, it neighed and shouted, "Hey, two people behind the wall on the left, come here." Don't hide, I see you. โ€

On the other side, he was obviously an undead half-demon, but the dignified 'Alchemy Chief' couldn't weaken his prestige. He calmed down, walked out with Tambos, and arrived in front of the skeleton warhorse, staring at the monster skull of the other party, and then at the stall in front of him.

"Want something?" The Skeleton War Horse took the initiative to ask: "I have the latest Black Forest Exploration Cheats here, which I just secretly copied from my master, and it has not yet been circulated, and it is all sold cheaply."

A gold coin will tell you about the Elven Forge Field. For two gold coins, you can get a briefing on the monster forces of the Black Forest. Three gold coins, and I can give you the entire map of the ruins of Silver Leaf City.

If you can produce ten gold coins, I'll tell you about some undiscovered ruin, and I'll sell five copies of the same kind at most, and never more. Personally, I also included a copy of the Black Forest Raiders or the Abyss Demon Summoning Manual.

If you want it, hurry up, this is me hiding from the master to come out to earn pocket money. Once discovered, the business is gone. If you buy them all, I'll get a 20% discount. Or tell you a big secret about the Black Forest. โ€

Looking at the undead half-demon who could speak human words, Fabro was also stunned for a long time. Tambos scolded in his heart: "Why does this routine seem to have been encountered before?" Victor again for sure. Hugo is playing tricks. โ€

The 'Chief Alchemist' hesitated for a long time, and reached out to grab a paper roll to inspect the goods.

The skeletal war horse's nose spewed out a rich negative energy, and he snorted coldly: "Give me some rules." Pay with one hand, deliver with the other. I'm a demon, and when I annoy me, I'll devour you. โ€

Fabro's hand stopped, and he measured it for a long time. If he was in his heyday, he might not be afraid of this undead half-demon, but now that his scroll staff spell casting materials have been exhausted, he really can't benefit from facing such a fierce beast.

"How much do you buy them all?"

"Fifty gold coins. If you don't need a discount, I'll give you a very useful tip for adventuring in the Black Forest, and it's the best kept secret. โ€

Fabro pondered for a long time, took out fifty gold coins from his pocket, and brought a copy of all the paper rolls. He chose not to discount it, wondering what secrets the skeletal warhorse could provide.

Hehehe...... collected the money, and the skeleton war horse laughed happily, "In the Black Forest, as long as you shout 'Holy Light' in your heart, you can get free online services." You can ask the Light any question you have, and you will usually get an answer.

If you need help, you can also send messages and tips through the Light. This is so convenient for expeditions that can be in danger at any time.

What do you think? Give it a try. The Light is with you! โ€
