Section 141
Bang dang - bang dang - bang dang -
In the early morning, the noisy sound of chiseling echoed from the scaffolding of the city walls.
Gerry carried an empty sack from under the scaffolding into Breeze City, and expertly walked through several narrow alleys to the market. There was a group of people on the periphery of the cart selling grain, which made him feel uneasy. When he was approaching, he heard the shout of "10 copper" even more discouraged.
"Yesterday it wasn't just 7 copper!" Someone shouted.
"Those nobles are frantically harvesting food, and the whole Breeze City is also collecting it, who knows what they are going to do."
"Is 8 copper okay, I want 100 pounds!"
"Fuck off! Not even 1 pound! 8 copper? After selling these today, tomorrow it may be 15 copper! ”
Gerry patted the pocket containing the money and continued to run deeper into the market. The results are not less than 10 pounds. While it was still morning, Gerry went to several more markets before he found a shop and persuaded the man to sell him 50 pounds of semolina for 9 copper and 1 pound.
Wandering the streets with wheat flour on his back, Gerry listened to the rich men in the wagons complaining about the rising price of grain.
Gerry thought it was because the war was about to start. As for who the enemy is...... Isn't there anyone who hasn't read a magical newspaper?
The day after he learned that the price of food had risen, Gerry came to the city with his savings to buy food. It's the little wisdom of the little people.
Towards noon, Gerry finds his prey, a resident walking by with a magical newspaper in his hand.
"Sir—sir—" Gerry called out to the residents, his image and bulging sacks causing them to let their guard down, "What's the matter?" ”
"I haven't heard of this issue of the magic newspaper, can you sell it to me? Willing to pay 5 copper coins. ”
The resident thoughtfully said, "But I spent 10 copper coins." ”
"You've heard it all, what's the use of asking for a magic newspaper again? Sell it to me, and you'll read the magic newspaper for only 5 copper coins......"
Residents feel that it makes sense: "Take the money first." ”
"No problem!"
Grimisso pulled out five dirty copper coins, exchanged them for magic newspapers from the commoners, and headed out of the city to return to the slum villages on the outskirts.
Carrying the food on his back, following the sound of the news, Gerry, who was facing the envy of his neighbors, proudly tilted his head back to the house and pushed open the door.
"New magic newspaper!" A little boy with a burlap coat with a large patch and a small patch pounced.
"Of course, learn the lingua franca from Sister Evelyn while she is still talking."
Gerry handed the magic newspaper to little Lune, his child, the pride of the family, because little Lune had learned dozens of words with the magic newspaper, and it only cost a few dozen copper coins, and the average word was only one copper coin!
It is said that the mage apprentice in the village, who does not teach magic but only the lingua franca, charges 10 silver coins a week for tuition, which is enough to learn 1,000 words in exchange for a magic newspaper-
This is the great wisdom of the little people.
Asking his wife to put the grain in the cellar, Gerry picked up the blunt axe and went out into the yard, and chopped the wood he had brought back the day before into pieces of wood for burning—
Wielding an axe, Gerry thinks about the future of the family: little Lune, who has read a lot of words, settles accounts for the shop, earns a silver coin every day, and takes himself and his wife into Breeze City within a few years......
As for the nezumi running to Breeze...... That's the only thing Gerry is up against. That boy from the King of the North is too underestimated to be in Breeze......
They have a mage tower that will never fall!
……
The food crisis in Breezy City is man-made.
After the discussion between Annan and Olmedo, they decided to buy a large amount of grain before the winter.
It was an earthquake when the plan of the upper level fell to the lower level, first of all, the nobles, the rich, they didn't know what was going on, but they did what the city lord's mansion did. Then there were the merchants who knew the inside story, and they began to raise the price, or stop selling the grain and wait and see. Only ordinary people wake up and find that the money that could still buy a pound of semolina yesterday can only buy half a pound today.
But before the grain rose too high, the grain of Bethal and Plenty was siphoned to Breeze City, and the grain was refilled, and the grain fell, and then again—
After a few times, the nobles and wealthy would obediently sell their hoarded grain, and by the time the two cities reacted, Breeze City had already purchased enough grain. Coupled with the farmland outside the city, it is enough for them to be self-sufficient this winter.
Compared to the nobles who want to get a piece of the pie, the price of food in Xingyue Bay, where only Annan has the final say, has been stable at 7 to 8 copper coins - the merchants are not stupid, Xingyue Bay near the sea is the most short of food, and thousands of fish are transported from Moon Port to the market every day, and then to Breeze City.
Dried fish from the sea is also in full swing. The rainy season has not yet passed, so the residents choose to smoke the salted sea fish on the stove, which is a little slower but still tastes good.
Ingrid also suggested that they should fence off the bay and keep the fish they caught in the bay. It was Lela who vetoed her...... Leila, who has been tinkering with fish for dozens of days in Xingyue Bay, said that all sea fish will eat small fish in big fish, and put 100 pounds of big fish and 100 pounds of small fish together, and it won't be long before there will be only 110 pounds left - the big fish are all fat.
And the bay is offshore, and when the rat people attack, the bay will be polluted.
After Ingrid and Lena went out one after another, Annan looked at Lilith.
Annan didn't tell Lilith who she was, because the Mage Tower was too far away from Starmoon Bay—almost a tenth of a floating island.
In order to build a mage tower that can be used by legendary mages, they must first have legendary mages.
That's not a problem. All mage towers have legendary mages, but not all legendary mages have mage towers. The cost of the Mage Tower is too much for even the legends to afford. So when it is known that there is an ownerless mage tower waiting for a vacancy, the legendary mage will appear like a weed out of the ground, settle in the mage tower, and protect the satellite Moon Bay - but it is more likely that he will seize the Star Moon Bay and let everyone become his servants.
Asimov said in front of Mr. Schwaro that he did not necessarily have the idea of expecting Mr. Schwaro to advance to the legend.
In any case, it is not enough to sell yourself by building a mage tower.
"I'm done, do you want more?" Annan asked, putting down the spoon.
Lilith shook her head, and Annan got up and walked out of the restaurant. As he passed behind Lilith, he couldn't help but take a closer look, her skin was delicate and delicate, and she couldn't find pores......
Click-
The door to the dining room suddenly opened, and Ingrid went back and forth, seeing Annan leaning over Lilith's back.
Annan hurriedly stood up straight and explained, "I'm ......"
"It's nothing, your preferences are finally normal......" Ingrid's relief stung Annan.
He had to think maliciously that if you knew Lilith was Taling, he wouldn't say that.
"Why are you here again?"
Annan and Ingrid came outside the living room.
"Your dragon trainer and a team of guards got into an argument."
