I have a food city [infrastructure] Section 333
At first, people couldn't quickly change the habit of drinking raw water, so they set up self-service water dispensers.
Hot water, lukewarm, room temperature and ice water are available 24 hours a day.
It's more convenient than going home to get raw water to drink!
Soon developed the habit of not drinking raw water.
Now, even if you are thirsty at home and do not have ready-made boiled water, you have to wait for the water to boil before drinking.
Especially after a winter, everyone has fallen in love with drinking hot water – except in summer.
Fifteen copper coins are enough to buy a big bag of steamed buns, and you can only buy a black bread that is unpalatable and unnutritious.
The boss lazily got up and brought him brown bread.
The black bread, which was as hard as a stone, smashed against the counter, and the height was too high to smash the wooden counter out of the pit.
Joshua asked, "Is there hot water?" ”
The tavern owner didn't really want to take care of it.
Joshua also knew that he was asking about nonsense, where would there be a lot of hot water except for Lanceville?
The tavernkeeper's attitude was not good, and Joshua was not annoyed, so he wrapped the black bread in a wide cloak and walked out.
Outside the tavern, a group of thin children were looking inside, and when they saw that the strange man in black had really come out with a pile of black bread, they immediately jumped up with joy.
As soon as Joshua came out, the children rushed over and tried to grab it, but Joshua was so good that he only had to hold the bread higher, and the children would have no choice.
"Give me, give me, give it to me!"
A group of children grabbed his cloak with their dirty hands, and Joshua was not angry, but smiled and said, "Stand up for me, and line up well, or I won't give you food." ”
There were no children listening, so Joshua literally didn't give them any crumbs.
Finally, when one of the children had quieted down, Joshua brought one to her.
The child grabbed the black bread and immediately grabbed it into his mouth and bit down hard.
Brown bread is dead noodles, and some people will add small sawdust and bark in order to make more money, which is dry, hard and awkward, but it is already a supreme delicacy for her.
Joshua said softly, "Eat slowly, it's all yours, no one will rob you." He rummaged through the empty space equipment, and there was a bit of a mistake.
Life in Lanceville was so convenient that he had forgotten what this "normal" world was like since he woke up.
Joshua is also a heavy milk tea fanatic, and there is only milk tea and no water in the space equipment.
Fortunately, the magic was very convenient, and a ball of warm water appeared with a snap of the fingers.
The water balloon floated in front of the girl and motioned for her to drink from the brown bread.
The children, who had been trying to snatch something from Joshua's hands, were silent for a moment, and then quieted down like little girls.
Joshua smiled with satisfaction, "Good, good boy." ”
"Come, two for one."
He gave them black bread, and gave each of them a balloon of warm water.
The children didn't run away, afraid of being robbed, and their intuition told them that the man in front of them should be trustworthy, after all, this is expensive black bread!
Joshua waited until they had finished eating one of the brown loaves and drank the water before he spoke, "I've paid the payment in advance, so tell me about the strange things that have happened lately." ”
The characteristics of the appearance of the Dark Nightmare are obvious, and as long as there is a tragedy, it is very likely that the Dark Nightmare has appeared.
But the proportion of people is larger than that of the Dark Nightmare, and this is the third accident site Joshua has found.
Of course, the location of the crime is not here, this is the closest town to the crime location, and Joshua came to see if he could find clues.
But I met a bunch of skinny kids.
Joshua picked up a place with a strong dark aura to inquire about the news, and there was naturally a discussion around such a terrifying thing. Who's to inquire about, isn't it? The two black loaves of bread told Joshua everything they knew that could be related to "strange things."
"My mom said the eggs were gone, but we don't have them!"
"There is a wanderer who is a fool, he went to swim in the river on such a cold day and was frozen into the river!"
"William is gone, and his parents have been looking for him for a long time and haven't found him!"
“……”
The children racked their brains and told everything they knew.
"What a good boy." Joshua pulled out a pack of cookies from the space equipment and opened them and divided them among themselves.
As soon as the fragrant cookies appeared, the children's eyes straightened, but this time they didn't snatch them again.
"What a good boy." Joshua gave them another piece.
Chapter 142
Three days have passed since Lanceville's exit, and Joshua's Undead Scourge (part-time perpetual motion machine) has three more high-level laborers, but there is no trace of the target Dark Nightmare.
But he's not in a hurry, it's nice to be able to go out on a date together, but the advantage of an office romance is that you can see each other at work.
Going to work every day is like going on a date, how nice it is!
Joshua is a good talker, doesn't pick most of the time, and is very good at accepting the status quo.
But the tragic scene that the mobile phone has seen along the way is outside of this good-natured tolerance.
After leaving the small town, Joshua followed the clues he had received and set out eastward.
Soon after, William's parents found the child in the grove who had fallen asleep in a pit due to playfulness.
"William?! William, what's wrong with you?! Where the hell did you run to?! Any idea how anxious we are?! ”
William woke up with a shake in his eyes, "I didn't ...... either"
William had been missing for a day, and the family was in a state of great anxiety throughout the day.
If you are usually just playful, you don't know where to run, but no matter how playful you are, you also know to go home at night to sleep and eat.
William did not return.
When they were reminded of the tragedy in the next village, they were so terrified that they didn't know what to do.
One is the fear that William has been killed, and the other is the fear that their town will be next.
Humble civilians are like a weed everywhere in this world, and because there are too many, they are extremely worthless.
Not only is it worthless, but it is inconspicuous, and although the vitality is tenacious, it will still die in large pieces for various reasons.
Thinking of his own fate, thinking of William's fate, William's family hugged William and whined loudly, and the beatings that should have fallen on him became a cry to vent.
William was the most dazed one, looking at his parents and older siblings who were holding him and crying, his eyes were full of doubts.
"Click", a letter fell out.
William looked over, he was obviously illiterate, but he didn't know why he could read what was written on it.
"Dear William, congratulations on your selection to be an honorable student at Lanceville Elementary School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, please consult with your parents and decide whether you want to enroll in Lanceville Elementary School of Witchcraft and Wizardry within three days, if you want to enroll, tear off the postmark on this letter, and a flying carriage will pick you up and take you to Lanceville Elementary School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
The word Lanceville Elementary School of Witchcraft and Wizardry appears several times, a frequent noun that is a bit confusing, but it seems to be easy to understand.
"Mom, I've been accepted into Lanceville Elementary School of Magic, should I go to school?"
"-What?" William's mother, who was crying, suddenly stopped crying, her face full of incredulity.
"What magic elementary, what's that?!"
"It seems to be...... A place where people are taught to learn magic. ”
The people who were still immersed in grief in the last second: "!! ”
Do you still need to ask?! Go, of course!
William's parents were so excited that their bodies were trembling: "How much is the tuition fee for school?!" Quick, help me back! Even if I sell myself, I'll definitely let you go to school! ”
This is an opportunity to change your destiny.
This is their only hope of getting out of the status quo!
William's family was sad and extremely excited.
After seeing William's parents find the child, Joshua leaves.
At this time, the number of undead who fell into a deep sleep with his departure in the underground was very large, at least tens of thousands.
Joshua had a lot of men, but he wasn't happy.
The tragedy in the next village was the work of a necromancer, and while slaves were the easiest material to obtain, there were always people who wanted to buy them for free.
Moreover, most of the slaves have already resigned themselves to their fate, and the soul fluctuations are not strong enough to provide much fear.
When Joshua found the necromancer, he was trying to stuff the souls of 10,000 people into William's body.
The souls of these 10,000 people were collected before, as well as the people in that village.
William is the "lucky one" in the eyes of necromancers, as he has the rare gift of becoming a necromancer.
So he changed his mind and tried to create a "miracle", maybe William would become a high-level undead under the dual effect of survival desire and talent?!
Most of the civilians and slaves died in despair, and necromancy could turn them into undead.
However, the spiritual power and soul of lv.0 are too weak, and becoming an undead is only at the level of lv.1-5.
Too weak and too weak, this can only be used as cannon fodder skeletons, not a good thing.
If you want to get a high-level undead, you either have to hunt high-level existences, or you can start cultivating from small minions.
The former is too dangerous, the latter is too expensive, and it can be seen from the other party's attack on the poor village that he has no money.
It just so happened that William went there to play with his friends, and he had the talent to become a necromancer, so let's become a "test subject".
It took some time to prepare the experimental materials, and fortunately it left Joshua with a chance to save William.
It's just that William's body has been "pre-processed".
Joshua fed him a little potion to stop the magic in his body, but he was not a professional priest after all, and William still had to return to the hospital in Lanceville for more professional treatment.
The chaotic surging magic power was quite dangerous for low-level transcendentals, not to mention William, an ordinary person who was not even an extraordinary.
