I have a food city [infrastructure] Section 19
Don't want to die, she doesn't want to die at all now!
Every day she could smell the delicious aroma from the castle, so sweet, so delicious—it didn't matter if she couldn't eat it again tomorrow, she felt that as long as she could let herself smell that wonderful smell again, it was the greatest gift the gods had given her!
"A copper coin, a copper coin, a copper coin......" As she muttered, her body seemed to have been hit by some magical magic, and she became extremely powerful and extremely enduring.
Work hard, save money, and buy clothes, food, and survive this winter.
Her wishes are very small, and the little people who are crawling at the bottom can't imagine any grand and powerful wishes.
However, even such an insignificant dream may be shattered at any time.
"Lord Lord......" Haiwei struggled to raise her head from the ground, her face covered in mud and blood, dirty like a dying stray cat.
But her eyes were frighteningly bright, and the eyes that looked at the sky were still pure worship and longing.
I'd love to stay with you any longer, my lord. I really want to work for you again......
Clothes...... Food...... Winter......
Get through it, this winter should have been over!
Why, why why......
She was in pain, but her broken throat couldn't make any sound.
Rocco...... Rocco......
She crawled towards her brother, her eyes rolling with great effort to look at him again, to hug him again, and now it was too late to hug him while the body was still cold.
But the blood pouring out of his head coldly shattered this luxury. The hot blood was bubbling down, but the body was extremely cold, and the consciousness gradually became sluggish......
"Look at what! Look again, gouge out your eyes! A big shoe stomped her head into the ground.
It hurts......
The fingers that were clutching at the dirt and trying to struggle were completely motionless.
Pain and despair were her last impressions of this cruel world.
The loss of a life did not arouse the slightest pity from the bandits, and even the dullness of madness appeared on their faces.
"It's really not fun.,Huh~"
The thief let out a disgruntled speech, but in the next second, a terrifying Weiya enveloped his body, and blood gushed out.
There was still a second's expression on his face, mixed with dazedness, and he looked so helpless.
"Bang!" The soft body fell, and there was an inexplicable strange resemblance to Haiwei's face.
Chapter 22
When Philos left, Alice was still brushing the huge pumpkins with several children of the same age.
Alice was no ordinary slave anymore, perhaps the one she had spoken to the lord the most, and Blaise was very pleased to promote her to the rank of maid.
In this project, Blaise also arranged for her to "learn" from the steward. This opportunity is not everything, and learning from the steward is not to train her to be a steward?!
Alice was surprised and delighted, and secretly vowed in her heart that she must work hard! On the first day of work today, she was also the one who worked the hardest.
The food in the Lord's Mansion is much better than in other places, and Alice has eaten well these days, and she feels that her body has become much stronger.
The steward who took her taught her how to swing the whip and how to beat the slaves and civilians so that they would not be hurt too badly and affect the progress of the work.
"That's a lot of esoteric knowledge!" So said the steward.
Alice glanced at the whip with some fear, as a slave, she naturally tasted the pain of the whip, even if she was now a "whip-wielding" person, her fear of the whip could not be erased.
Just as the steward was about to show Alice how to whip the whip on the spot, the lord arranged for the steward to do something else: "You go dig the earth." ”
The steward was obviously stunned for a moment, but the lord's order was absolute, so he could only go and dig the earth.
The lord didn't make arrangements for Alice, and Alice, who had not yet "come out", didn't dare to whip it, so she ran to help with all the work that could be used for her.
She has been doing her usual work since she was a child, and her movements are very quick, although she is small, her work is not ambiguous at all.
The progress of the project, which was carried out by more than 2,000 people, was carried out very quickly, starting from the central point of the plantation-No. 1 plant and gradually pushing it to both sides. By the end of the morning, two kilometers of pipes had been laid.
Filos was very satisfied with this speed, and was about to raise the standard of food at noon, so he turned out the pile of ingredients from his backpack, but the cutlery brought by the employees made his brow furrow, and the dirty dishes and chopsticks looked like a pile of garbage turned out of the ruins, in fact, the "cutlery" in the hands of the slaves was indeed garbage.
Although Philos did not have a habit of cleanliness, these were obviously beyond his bottom line of hygiene.
Some cheap dishes and chopsticks are just a few that don't cost much.
Filos is ready to send them down as a benefit for excellent employees - except for a few who have never done manual work, most of them work very hard, as long as they meet the standards, the more excellent employees the better!
The grocery store in Lanceville City did not have the capacity to supply more than 2,000 pairs of chopsticks at one time, and although the nearest city was more than a hundred kilometers away in a straight line, the flying speed of the cloud shuttle manta ray was very fast, and ten minutes back and forth was enough.
Even if you add the time to buy something, it won't take more than an hour.
The nearby demonic beasts were all scared away by the coercion of the cloud shuttle manta fish, and the wandering undead were also cleaned up by him, there was nothing to worry about, and the lone wolf Philos simply left.
Philos walked neatly, leaving a bunch of people looking at each other, the steward didn't know where to make the lord unhappy, he was tired from a day's physical work, and he had no energy to "seize power", so the burden of managing more than 2,000 people fell on Alice's head.
Alice was a little overwhelmed, but she could only follow the lord's order before leaving, and lead everyone to clean the pile of vegetables on the ground.
There is a clean water source nearby, and some of the children carry the ingredients to the water source to wash it, the older children boil the water, and the men and women continue to work.
Although there is no "leader", the laborers are used to their work, except for the steward who sits under a tree with a sore back to rest, and everyone else should do what they should do or continue to do.
The lord's mouth "take a break, eat first", no one thinks that it is said to themselves, the lord needs to rest and eat, this is a matter of course! Even Philos didn't even swing a hoe.
But while the laborers were hard at work, a team of flying eagles fell in the form of humans, and no one was surprised, after all, this is the world of magic, and the druids who can turn into various animals are also among the transcendents.
The steward had already rested for a while, and when he saw the transcendent approaching, he immediately greeted him with a flattering smile: "Venerable Druid, I am Lord Lanceville—" Before he could finish his words, a silver light flashed, and his body turned into two before he could react.
Blood gushed out, and after a brief silence, screams of terror erupted, and the laborers dropped what they were holding and fled desperately.
However, the steward of the highest-ranking transcendent on the scene had already been killed, how could an ordinary person who had done a morning of physical work be able to outrun this group of transcendentals?
These men are very "professional" bandits, and although this place is a little far from their stronghold, it is nothing to the transcendents.
Soon after the druids of the advance force were killed, the "big army" soon arrived.
A one-sided massacre began.
Screams, cries, and begs for mercy mingle with shrill laughter, making it the best accompaniment to the bandit leader Tonier.
His subordinates brought him a jewel-encrusted "chair" and poured blood-red wine, and at the bloody slaughter, Toniel hooked the corners of his lips, and finally showed a slight smile on his gloomy face.
He was actually not very happy to do this transaction. Dayak is a place that is so poor that the old guy Chiti has already fished everything he can, and the rest of this bit of rags, even if he sells all the people and robs everything, it is not enough for him to lose at the table.
But the two have been working together for so many years, even if it is for the sake of each other's face - he is not very happy.
"I hope that little lord named Philos will show a more interesting expression." What Chiti used to impress him was undoubtedly the condition of a lord's toy.
Toniel hasn't played the Viscount yet! The nobles are always keen to hold together, and there are more down-and-out barons, and the more opportunities he has to get his hands on, the more difficult it is for the viscount!
Pok Chiti revealed to him the contents of the Temple of Light's reply, and he only dared to accept the order after making sure that Philos had angered the Temple of Light.
Toniel loves blood and screams, and prefers necromancers or dark warlocks to wind mages, but unfortunately his talent is in the wind elemental.
The more people in the city, the more excitement and joy it can bring him, but before a big meal, eating an hors d'oeuvres can make him even more excited.
"No, please, Transcendent, please......"
"Mom...... Mommy—you let go of my mother—"
"Leave me alone, please......"
"Ahh
“……”
Something more terrifying than the sound coming from hell kept ringing in her ears, and Alice stumbled to get out of this area that was more terrible than hell, but she was too weak.
Short legs and lack stamina, and more importantly - she is an ordinary little girl with no abilities.
“…… Yes! A thud from her back sent her entire body flying, and she slid the ground covered with rubble and dead branches for a long distance, and the clean clothes she had managed to get were not only dirty, but also torn.
Alice's eyes were red with distress, and there was not much pain in her body, which had broken several bones—when the pain exceeded her physical limits, she didn't feel pain.
She struggled to get up, but couldn't move her left leg.
"Run! Run faster! The man kicked her impatiently, "Hurry up and stand up!" ”
Alice tried again, but her left foot didn't respond, and she had to crawl forward with two arms to support herself.
Run, Lord Lord! Don't come back! Come on!!!
"Hahaha, Jack, the slave you picked is too useless, she still doesn't appreciate it if you are kind enough to help her!"
The man who kicked Alice heard the sarcasm of his companion, his face became even more ugly, and the bad mood was transmitted to his feet, and he accidentally used too much force, and the little girl who was covered in mud and blood completely stopped moving.
The man next to him saw it and laughed and said, "Why did you get dead again?" Sell it to the orcs for 10 silver! "The child's meat is tender, and the price that can be sold in the north is not low. In particular, the empire forbade the sale of slaves to orcs, and the more forbidden it was, the more profitable the business became, and the higher the price of human children!
But apparently he was not to blame for this, and the lives of slaves could not be more cheap. It's only 10 silver, and their boss will have 5 gold for a glass of water.
"Lord Lord......" More slaves looked up in the direction Philos had left, tears in their eyes.
What can they do if they are killed? The lord is so rich, he can have as many slaves as he wants.
However, they didn't want such a benevolent lord to be slain by this group of demons.
He was so merciful, giving them precious "sugar", giving them a taste of "happiness" in their barren lives, and giving them high-paying jobs, giving them a vision for the future.
Don't come back! Your Lord, please be safe!
In their hearts, Philos is omnipotent, he is so merciful, but the priest's combat power is not so high, and he has no advantage against this group of vicious robbers.
Fortunately, the lord has left on something, and as long as he doesn't come back, he will be able to escape.
"Spare my daughter, please, you can do anything to me, please spare my Shirley!"
Women pleaded bitterly, but how could the transcendent beings on high care about their voices?
"Shirley...... My Shirley ......" The woman with her broken leg moved her body little by little towards her daughter's side with her hands.
The six-year-old was still a small lump due to malnutrition, his eyes widened in a pool of blood, and his distorted features were full of fear.
The bandits chatted while packing the goods: "I didn't expect it to be so simple this time, I haven't met a high-level transcendent." ”
"Even if you do! The boss is a high-level mage! Even if a high-level swordsman comes, it's useless! ”
