055 Contingency measures

Coming out of Flint's tavern, Wang Da saw Xiao Bai standing at the gate of the underground facilities of the floating island with ham in his hand.

Wang: "Have you eaten yet?" ”

"Not yet. But a couple of people from the ground are looking for you. In the tent over there. Xiaobai pointed to the tent, "Gao Trick brought it." ”

Wang raised his eyebrows: "Gao Trick brought it?" Then I'll have to see you. ”

Surely Gautrek would not bring someone up for no reason, the king was sure.

So the king strode towards the tent and told Xiaobai: "Eat quickly, and we will go down after eating." ”

Xiaobai: "You say!" ”

When the king entered the room, he saw the tall Trek sitting obediently on a small bench.

The other two men, one brown curly and the other blonde, were making themselves tea and fiddling with the iron kettle on the small stove.

Wang: "Who are the two?" ”

Gautrek stood up, and then his head hit the top of the tent, nearly poking a hole in the tent.

The king hurriedly gestured for Gautrek to sit down.

The barbarian sat down again, pointed to the one with brown curly hair, and said, "This is Nicky, the head of the shadow thieves in Yi Songzo. ”

Nicky nodded, "Respectful ...... Uh, Hello the Great Celebrated. ”

Wang: "Don't mention the name. ”

"No, if ordinary people down there see that we don't call you that, we'll be beaten." Nicky said.

Lily, who followed in, was speechless: "Is it so serious?" ”

The other blonde man finally finished making tea and returned to the small table with the teapot: "It's so serious. You don't know that all the miracles that happened yesterday have been attributed to you.

"Although the second miracle is the work of Karin, we speculate that it is the work of Karin's envoy. But...... The people don't care about that, you are the one who was praised yesterday for two miracles that saved everything, and they don't accept any objections. ”

Gao Trick finally caught the gap between the blonde and finished speaking, and saw the introduction of the stitches: "This blonde is Squealer." ”

Squealer nodded: "Hello, I am also one of the heads of the Shadow Thief. ”

Wang: "You came just in time. We're just looking for the following. ”

Nicky: "What's next?" That's what I said. Overall, the following situation is better than you think. The losses were not as great as we had estimated at the beginning. We were ready for the entire city to be wiped out. ”

Wang: "The result?" ”

Squealer: "Your first miracle was to destroy eighty percent of the monsters, and you also wiped out many of the Order's minions, and that alone saved a lot of people."

The second miracle saved the rest of the people, including some of the infected. Now they call spirits holy water. The Temple of Kailin in the dirty streets, which was once only visited by prostitutes and bards, is now full of people. ”

Wang: "Well, isn't that good?" ”

Nicky: "Even better, everyone is chanting your name, even thinking that your name will protect them from the horrible monsters of yesterday. ”

Wang shook his head: "Don't do this, to ensure that they are not harmed, we need to introduce modern epidemic prevention methods......

Nicky: "Then bring it in." Just teach them that, and they'll do it. Teach them what you want to teach them now. Of course, it is better to teach some simple and easy to remember, most of the people below are illiterate, and they can't remember complex things. ”

The king thought for a moment and said, "How about I teach them to boil the water before drinking?" ”

Nicky and Squealer looked at each other, and the former asked, "What do you mean to boil?" ”

Lily: "Don't you have alchemy?" The alchemist will tell you that the water will boil. ”

The king pointed to the tea that Squealer had just brewed: "The water you use to make tea starts to boil, right, that kind of water is called boiling water." ”

Squealer looked down at the steaming teacup, "Is that it?" Does just drinking this 'boiling water' work? ”

Wang nodded.

Squealer rubbed her blonde hair: "Good girl, it's so simple. Then you must nominate what you teach, and everyone will listen to what you teach. ”

At this time, Lily had an idea: "Does that mean that Yi Songzuo's people can be directly recruited?" ”

Nicky: "Of course, if you say that you want to form a crusade to extinguish the source of this scourge, the young men of Yi Songzuo will join without saying a word." ”

The king waved his hand: "No, we can't afford to supply so many troops now. And these laymen have a limited role to play. We may have a whole Catalan rebel army by next spring, all trained veterans, probably 10,000 in total. ”

Nicky: "Thank you for trusting us, but it's better not to say this in front of a spy next time." ”

Wang: "I'll remember." Moving on to the situation below. How much food is left down there and how long can it be eaten. ”

Nicky: "That's what we're here for. We've heard that the floating island produces a miracle bean that you won't be hungry for a day. If this is true, please give us some. ”

Wang: "The grain stock below is in a hurry, right?" ”

"It's not just an emergency," Squealer smiled wryly, "we were going to stock up on food, but first it rained, then it rained, then it rained, and finally it rained, and we have never seen this kind of posture in our warehouse." ”

Lily snickered, "What is the Big Storm Drink......"

Squealer waved his hand: "I'll just fight against the heavy rainstorm casually, in short, there is no good food in the whole city now, there is wine lees, but you can't eat wine lees to starve." Today the people can eat some bread soaked in water to deal with it, but tomorrow the bread starts to go rancid, and the situation is bad. ”

Wang: "I see, we happen to have a large number of fairy beans, so let's send them to you directly." ”

Nicky: "No, we've heard that eating too many of these beans will lead to death, and that eating only these beans will cause malnutrition. So I hope you will personally demonstrate how to eat the beans. ”

Wang nodded: "Okay, I will demonstrate it myself, and then I will send the beans to the people after the demonstration." ”

Lily: Come on, Praise One. ”

"Don't call me that."

"That's not good, both shadow thieves have said it, if you don't call you like that, the people will be angry."

Wang was speechless.

At this time, Xiaobai rushed in: "I'm full!" So when are we going down? ”

Wang: "Wait a minute, wait for us to prepare the beans." ”

Xiaobai frowned: "What beans?" It can't be that starchy bean, right? Don't, it's Yodo! ”

King: "It's not for you to eat, it's for the people below who have no food to eat." You won't be fed beans. ”

Xiaobai let out a long sigh of relief: "Whew, scare me." But the people below can only eat that kind of bean, it's pitiful. ”

Gao Trick, who had been silent, suddenly said: "It's better than starving to death." ”

Everyone looked at him together, and the barbarian just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
