Chapter 552: Changes in Nebo Town
The goblins in the swamp are very happy with the speeding "TheΒ· Che "There is no way, even if the crossbow arrow in the hand is just a bounce on the shell, it makes no sense at all. The only thing that can cause trouble to the group is www.biquge.info a few words of abuse, which makes the reserve food scream. If it weren't for Zhao Mai closing the car window, it would have teleported out, biting the goblin to death and then teleporting back.
Although he didn't say it, Zhao Mai still wanted to find Haizel. "I just want to show off, can't I?" Such a frank attitude made Xiaohua unable to complain, and could only sigh for a long time. However, when driving a car, it is impossible to carefully inspect the traces on the ground, let alone trace the footprints of many days ago. Moreover, Zhao Mai did not need to avoid goblins and mires, and went directly to the north, and it was very likely that he would not take the same road as Hazel. Sure enough, they drove all the way to Nebo Town, but there was still no sign of the paladin.
The town of Nebo, which has been rebuilt after the war, is full of construction sites and seems to be busy. Trees cut down from the healthy forest are piled up in the yard of a makeshift panel workshop, and the sound of carpenters operating various tools to chop and plane drills becomes a never-ending background sound. Small cargo ships are moored on the docks, and stone, tar and clay from Wolf Ears are transported through the ash lake to Nepo, loading planks and dragging tree trunks as they go. This trade route is one of the more lucrative routes at present.
But nowhere is it more prosperous than the business of the "Dwarven Musket Shop". Even though we hired apprentices to help, the production speed was much faster than in the past, but we couldn't afford the enthusiasm of our customers. For the sake of word of mouth, "Mad Mouse" Green did not use auction bidding to collect funds, but regularly shipped and purchased by lottery, and no one could say anything about luck.
"Good luck today. Because of the increased efficiency of the production of the barrel, today there are two double-barreled muskets on sale. However, the production of bullets still could not be raised, and there were still only 40 rounds. Green smiled and said to the customers gathered around the door.
"Two, yes, the odds of winning the lottery have doubled!Lady Fortune Daisna will bless my ......" Basically all the merchants wore the amulets of the purple butterfly. It is the emblem of the dream and the lucky lady, and the four wings of the butterfly are two shooting stars and the motif of the sun and the crescent moon.
A new shrine to the goddess Desna was set up in the town, and in addition to a simple idol, there was also a mass-produced emblem amulet next to it. It was set up by Grimm on a whim, and the merchants prayed to the goddess and donated money, and then took the amulet from the side to wear it. They only pray for utilitarian purposes and are not true believers, but the good dream goddess Luck will not mind and will still give blessings.
Green doesn't expect to make money with this, and at the same time doesn't dare to make money with it. He gathered up the gold coins and used them to make amulets for craftsmen. He kept careful records of the rest of the money, and put it honestly, waiting for the priest of Goddess Desna to pass by at some point, and then contribute it. He was not a follower of Desna, so he honestly reported his cash flow to the idol every day.
His behavior had apparently won the favor of the goddess, so Green had been lucky lately: the musket workshop was running smoothly, there were so many flammable and explosive materials, and there had been no accidents. Even the dwarf Sock has recently been inspired by a succession and has been lucky enough to solve a lot of problems.
The power of the gods is real in Gralion, and like air, water, and food, they can be seen and touched, influencing every aspect of life. Good gods can bring convenience to Grimm and Thork, and evil gods can bring disaster if they are not handled well. The evil cultists and chaotic creatures of the Mother of Monsters have become a climate in the Farmer's Forest, and the druid community seems unable to contain them, let alone eliminate them. Monsters are appearing more and more frequently in Wolf's Ears and the castle town of Gadoria, and even with patrols and cavalry, the safe areas that humans can control are shrinking.
But it also attracts quite a few adventurers. Not all adventurers only value money, and adventurer organizations like the "Silver Crusade" value fighting evil and promoting good names. By punishing evil and promoting good, they can better absorb like-minded friends and grow their strength.
News of the ravages of the Ramashtu monster has become known to the members of the Silver Crusaders, and it may soon be time for the priests and paladins of the good gods to come to their aid. Green, however, was thinking of a more secure solution: whether to move the workshop to a safer location.
He thought about it, but he didn't stop in his hand, and the two muskets soon found their owners, and the money and goods were counted in person, and everyone was happy. Muskets are hard to make, but they're also very profitable, high enough for Sock to take a break and suppress the urge to experiment, spending most of his day on repetitive tasks.
Putting today's income in the space bag, and then hiding it in the pocket of his clothes, he really put his mind at ease. There was a commotion in the direction of the town's gates, which caught his attention. In a few moments, the horseless carriage, familiar to the whole town, parted the crowd and slowly stopped at the door of the musket shop.
"Bean Cake, tell Sock, and say that he will put down his work first, and the old friend is here. β
"Hey!" the human boy with a shallow pit on his face put down his file and ran to the backyard without raising his head. This is a very hard-working young man, and his mind is still very flexible, and he is very pleasing to Green. However, Green always felt that he was inexplicably proud, so he continued to observe.
"Ha, it's been a long time, are you okay?" Zhao Mai jumped out of the car and gave Green a hug with open arms.
"I'm fine. Why did you change your hairstyle again? Judging by the brightness, you've been bald for a while, haven't you? What's going on?"
"There was something wrong with the spell, so I had to shave my hair to make it easier. Zhao Mai looked at the store, pouted and said, "Why is it still not good, there is nothing on the shelves...... Does Sock still only like to experiment?"
"Oh, no. He's working hard now, but the goods are so popular that they're always swept away. Green said proudly, "Just before you came, a shipment of goods was emptied. β
"Oh, that's good. You're getting stronger, I miss you so much!" Zhao Mai opened his arms to the dwarf again.
"Nonsense, you've only been away for a few months, what do you think!" the dwarf wiped his hand on his chest, and then gave Zhao Mai a hug. He secretly exerted his arm to see if Zhao Mai had eaten and drunk enough to grow stronger. As a result, Zhao Mai's body was as if it was made of steel, and there was almost no deformation. Sock was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, there is indeed progress! You have found that great druid? And you also got rid of the female paladin who got in the way, right? Without a woman to tie her hands, she will definitely be able to make great progress, what I said is absolutely right!"
Zhao Mai was about to say something else, when he suddenly heard a loud shout: "The surname is Zhao, I can be regarded as finding you!"
