Chapter 19: The Mysterious Guest Who Finally Sobered Up
The entire west coast of the East Continent has become a world covered in silver at this time. It's been a week of heavy snowfall, and the snow covers all of Phoenix. Now that the snow has stopped, the people of the city have wrapped up their clothes and walked out of the door. With brooms and iron trees in hand, they cleared the snow outside the door and on the surrounding roads.
In the distance, groups of soldiers drove slowly down the road in makeshift wagons, and as they passed, the surrounding populace carried the freshly shoveled snow onto the wagon, and the soldiers carried the wagon of snow out of the city.
Looking at the people outside the window cleaning the road in full swing, Lin Jue sighed softly, and said secretly in his heart: "I should have thought that there is such a thing as clearing snow in winter, and the efficiency of shoveling snow with iron is too low. Maybe I can invent a snowplow, which would be a good idea, and drive straight down the road and the snow will be cleared. β
But this is just thinking about it, the day after Lin Jue learned that an elf and a dwarf wounded had come to Phoenix, the snow began to fall.
"It's only been a few days since this snow, and there is so much snow on the road, and it is said that this snow will have to fall for at least a month, so we can't bury Phoenix?" Lin Jue complained.
Lin Jue shook his head helplessly, wrapped his cotton clothes tightly and returned to his desk, and in the center of the office, a huge brazier was placed here, bringing a touch of warmth to this cold office.
Bi Fang came to the office: "Your Excellency the Governor, the dwarf has woken up. β
"How is he doing?" Lin Jue asked.
Bi Fang replied: "It's okay, I'm awake, but I still can't move, maybe it will get better in a few days." β
The whining sound of the cold wind blowing outside the window was like a ghost call, which was terrifying, Lin Jue hesitated for a while, wrapped his cotton clothes tightly, and said with a resolute look: "Let's go, take me to see him." β
Lin Jue took Lin Yue and followed Bi Fang out of the Governor's Mansion.
There was no way, Lin Jue really didn't want to get out of this relatively warm space in such a cold weather, but he couldn't open his face and let a wounded person brave the heavy snow to come to his office to find him, not to mention that the wounded person couldn't move for the time being. He had to find out as soon as possible why the two of them had escaped the forest and come to Phoenix.
Not far outside the Governor's Palace, a towering tree more than twenty meters tall was thriving at this time. This was forcibly spawned by a great magician sent by the Forest Elf Clan recently, which cost Lin Jue 100,000 gold coins and a large amount of magic crystals, even so, it would take more than a month to grow in order to meet the needs of the major guilds to settle together.
100,000 gold coins, Rao is now rich Lin Jue, and he is also in pain. After all, this money is borrowed from the people of the Orlante Kingdom, and it will have to be repaid even more vigorously in the future, and now I don't earn a penny, not to mention, I have to spend a lot of money every day.
But he didn't do it. The reason why he spent so much money to make such an entertainment place where explorers are concentrated actually has his own purpose. No matter how much this world develops, it is still a different world dominated by magic.
After witnessing the battle between Emir, Phinex, and Werther in Dawning City, Lin Jue would no longer be naΓ―ve enough to think that in this world, he could easily defeat a mage or a powerful warrior with only an army and a musket.
This place is not so much a joint office of the major guilds, but rather that Lin Jue wants to make this place a Juxian Pavilion, which was built for the purpose of attracting and recruiting masters from the Eastern Continent.
It seems that we have to step up the research of steam engines and convert industrialized products into economic benefits as soon as possible, Lin Jue thought secretly in his heart.
In order to protect the two mysterious wounded from detection, Bi Fang placed the two of them in a medical hall near the barracks. The location of the barracks was close to the edge of Phoenix City, and it was still some distance from the Governor's Palace, and it was a long time before the three of them came here.
As Bi Fang said, the dwarves are not in a good state. Although he was awake, he still couldn't move, and now he was lying on the bed, and the doctor in the hospital was feeding him a bowl of porridge.
The doctor saw Lin Jue, as the first batch of immigrants, he knew Lin Jue, and was about to put down the porridge in his hand and stand up to salute, Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You continue, you don't have to get up." β
Looking at the pale dwarf, Lin Jue frowned slightly, his body was wrapped in bandages, only part of his body was exposed outside the quilt, and there were at least six wounds, I really don't know under what kind of circumstances a small dwarf with rough skin and thick flesh can be injured like this. On the small wooden table beside him was a set of broken armor, which seemed to be unusable.
Next to the armor, there is also a hammer and a firecracker.
On the other bed, not far from the dwarf, there was a handsome elf, who did not look good, her face was pale, and her expression was a little distorted in her sleep, as if she was suffering greatly.
"How is she now?" Lin Jue asked.
The doctor shook his head and sighed: "It's not good, she was hit the head, it seems to have been hit by a blunt object, and there are several serious wounds on her body. Unfortunately, our treatment has helped her very little, and she can only stop the bleeding at present, and the rest can only rely on her own recovery. β
Lin Jue's eyes turned to the side, on the small wooden table next to the elf's bed, there was a longbow and a basket of arrows, the longbow and arrows were dazzling gold, Lin Jue couldn't help but think, are the elves so showy?
Lin Jue no longer cares about the elf, before the matter is clear, he does not dare to expose this elf to other elves at will, who knows what happened, so that she would rather escape from the forest to the territory of humans. In the current situation, we can only learn about the situation from this dwarf first.
Lin Jue came to the dwarf and asked, "What's your name?"
The dwarf opened his mouth and spit out a few syllables with difficulty, but Lin Jue was stunned when he heard it, because he didn't understand it at all.
"By the way, I forgot, damn it, I don't understand the language. Lin Jue thought depressedly in his heart.
Lin Jue sighed and said helplessly: "I forgot, we can't understand the dwarf language." Forget it, let him recuperate with peace of mind first, and we'll find a way to come back again. β
At this time, Lin Yue said prettyly: "Brother, he ...... He spoke not dwarven but brandon, and he said...... Save me. β
"Brandon?" Lin Jue was stunned: "This dwarf is really, now Chinese is the dominant language of mankind, why doesn't he learn Chinese, but to learn Brandon." β
So, you ask him what happened. Lin Jue said.
