Chapter 50: A small chapter

Outside of the town of Crowk, there was a thriving scene, and outside the town, which had not been crowded with many people, there were many houses and pedestrians.

Lu Xi looked out of the carriage, and he didn't need Bethm to explain it to get a rough idea.

These people outside Crook Town were all caravans that came to the Spirit Farm to buy goods, because the Spirit Farm was surrounded by ice and was not suitable for caravans, so they all gathered here in Crowk Town.

The main purpose of the caravans sent by Betam was to fetch goods to supply the caravans.

Some time ago, in order to take in homeless civilians, Betham built a number of temporary houses outside the town of Clauk to house them.

After Miss Lucy proposed the arrangement to repair the road, after all these people moved out to repair the road, the remaining temporary houses were a little redundant, but they could be demolished directly, which seemed very wasteful.

It just so happened that because of the increase in the number of caravans coming and going, there were too many people queuing up to check in the city every day, and a large number of people gathered outside the town every day.

Betham didn't know if he was stimulated by Miss Lucy's methods, but he even thought of modifying these temporary houses to use them to stop and rest for the caravans.

In this way, only a part of the people who enter the city can be used, which greatly relieves the reception pressure in the town of Crowk.

At the same time, it also reduced the burden on the caravans, not to mention the fees that everyone needed to pay to enter the city, but it was full of trouble to find accommodation, because there were too many caravans, accommodation was scarce, and the price was several times higher.

Except for those taverns and inns in the city that have risen in price, it can be described as a win-win situation.

However, people are not vegetarians, and after discovering that the caravans were stationed outside the city on a large scale, many shopkeepers with flexible brains approached Betem, hoping to rent and buy a few temporary houses.

It is used to open all kinds of shops - the caravan does not go into the city to spend and shop, they can still come to sell things outside the city!

In fact, this kind of thing, without notifying Betham, he can find some materials casually, and it is not a problem to build two houses now, just say that these temporary houses that have been sold, which one has not been processed several times later.

But this has to take into account the exchange of interests between various adults.

They paid Betem to buy a peace of mind, to have a reasonable identity, and to save the people in charge of the affairs one day to see that they were making money, and they found an excuse to confiscate them.

Although it comes at a cost in the short term, it is beneficial in the long run.

The novelty of Luxi, the gathering place outside the town of Crowk, has the feeling of a street stall on the earth, all kinds of food and selling things are set up outside the house, and the goods can be seen at a glance, attracting people to stop and buy.

"Miss Lucy, would you like to take a break outside the city?" Betham opened her mouth with a very good eye, and saw Miss Lucy's curiosity about this place.

Originally, Bethham was working in the town of Crowk, but when he received the news that Miss Lucy was coming, he went out of the city to meet Miss Lucy a day earlier.

"No need." Lu Xi retracted her gaze, she was just a little nostalgic, just looking at it from a distance, she was really close to contact, and when she found that it was different from what she imagined, she would be even more disappointed.

Betham doesn't force it, everything is based on Miss Lucy's wishes.

When entering the city gate, because Lu Xi's carriage was too big, he had to evacuate everyone else to the side. It's good to pass smoothly.

And this evacuation inevitably caused a lot of small problems.

In addition to the caravans in other towns, there are also mercenaries who enter and leave the city, and in fact, the mercenaries are the main ones who come and go.

In particular, Crowk Town, as the first of the three human towns, is also the most popular place for mercenaries, who usually prefer to go to larger towns if they don't have a choice.

Because large human towns, not only are things more complete, but the value of bounty tasks is also higher, in other words, it is easier to get rich.

At this time, they were asked to forcibly give way, and many mercenaries were dissatisfied, if they were honest, it would be difficult to embark on the path of mercenaries, and it would be safer to enter the patrol or work under the hands of a nobleman than to be a mercenary.

It can be said that half of the people who are mercenaries are not interested in the nobles and are in a state of disgust, and it is normal to scold a few times.

Lu Xi doesn't care about herself, her car is so big, if she wants to enter the city, she must let others give way, and she can't wait for everyone to go in, let's go in by herself - seeing that there are so many people, even if the city gate is closed at night, she may not be able to enter.

Bethem's face turned ugly, he didn't think about letting Miss Lucy listen to these foul words, and with a look, the subordinates next to him quietly approached the dirtiest mercenaries.

I won't do anything serious to them, Betham knows Miss Lucy's bottom line, but her mouth is so dirty, and it is necessary to learn some lessons.

And the ordinary civilians except the mercenaries consciously got out of the way, especially when a few heard that it was "Miss Lucy" who entered the city, they simply knelt down towards Lu Xi's carriage.

His forehead was almost bleeding, causing a sensation.

"Thank you Miss Lucy for your alms, the garlic you gave us, and kept my sick child alive." One of the kowtowing villagers said.

The people next to him also followed suit, all of them were sick in the family, ate the garlic that Miss Lucy had sent them, and began to recover.

Lu Xi wanted to send the garlic seeds, so he definitely didn't have to bring them to Crowk Town, and he would deliver them to Betm earlier, so that he could send them down.

There are also several villages, close to the town of Crowk, that also served as "test subjects" to test the effects of garlic.

The effect of garlic is definitely not so strong, but after all, people from other worlds have never taken medicine at all, their bodies are very clean, and they don't have any resistance to medicine.

It is not so much that the disease was cured after eating garlic, but that after eating garlic, the virus in the body was suppressed for a short time, and at this time, the body's resistance prevailed, and with the physical strength of people from another world, as long as there was a chance to breathe a sigh of relief, it could basically be cured.

And after the mercenaries heard about these things, they were reluctant to give way, but they simply got up.

Most of them are from poor backgrounds, so it's not that they don't have a choice, who wants to become mercenaries.

After learning that this "Miss Lucy" actually did such a thing, the senses of the mercenaries changed suddenly, and if it was a noble lady who did such a thing, then there would be no problem for them to give way.

No one thinks that "Miss Lucy" is putting on a show and buying people's hearts, because the aristocracy never needs to do that.

If you get the benefit of being a mercenary, it will make people wonder if there is something wrong...... The civilians outside of the human towns? There is no value.

At the same time, there are also many mercenaries who are interested in the "garlic" they mention, and if it really has this effect, if they can bring some back to ......

Of course, it can be bought, for the villages with a Crowk town hukou, Lu Xi kindly distributed it for free, but others need to spend money to buy it.

is also worried that some mercenaries do not speak of martial virtues, and go to ordinary civilian villages to rob them, for mercenaries who want to buy garlic, Lu Xi also gave a free opportunity, that is, to help with a day's work, and when he turned around, he would give a bag of garlic as wages.

Not to mention the trade routes being built in the distance, there are also many construction sites on this side of Crowk Town, which are responsible for processing building materials and so on.

Instead of running to the village where I don't know where to rob it, it is better to work for a day to change garlic seeds, and three meals a day are served, and the money for the meal alone will be recouped.

It should be said or not, there are many mercenaries who specialize in working on the construction site, not for the bag of garlic seeds, but just to be full, and it seems that not all mercenaries are doing well.

After entering the city, Lu Xi felt the atmosphere of the "Ice Festival".

Because of the feat of the ice dragon freezing for hundreds of kilometers, the temperature in Crook Town this year is not too high, and only when the sun is particularly strong, can you feel the heat.

But even so, the "Ice Festival" is still in full swing as usual, Lu Xi walked on the road, and could see a few pots of ice sculptures placed at the door of every house, about the time that the weather was not so hot, and everyone was willing to put the ice sculptures in the yard for pedestrians to enjoy.

When she arrived near the mayor's mansion, Lu Xi's eyes twitched, what she was facing was an ice sculpture mansion, if it was really a big summer to see such a scene, Lu Xi would still be a little surprised.

But she had just come out of the "ice field" hundreds of kilometers away, and she actually wanted to see something else more than a feeling of "going home".

Bettam's expression was embarrassed for a moment, obviously he also understood something, for others, summer ice is rare, but for Miss Lucy, she hopes that summer can be without ice.

"Ahem...... What about me? Betham spoke, wondering if he should restore the mayor's mansion to its original state.

"No need, so be it." Lu Xi sighed, she didn't like it, but the residents of Crowk Town were looking forward to the "Ice Festival".

This frozen mayor's mansion is also part of their festival, so let's keep it as it is, anyway, she won't stay for a few days.

Headache, it seems that I am going to have a fever in the afternoon, I have already taken medicine, but my head hurts, I will write a little less today.
