Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 237: Winter is gone

For the people of Liberty City, this winter is very peaceful, and there is nothing too special.

The severe cold weather slowed down the pace of life, and people became a little dull and lazy.

However, the material distribution point is still very lively, after all, it served as a bazaar in the early days of the territory. Nowadays, in addition to Beth, Linda, Raz, Scott, and Tanal are all there to help Beth, but occasionally they are too busy.

With the advent of the cold winter, popular materials have gradually shifted from food to thick winter clothes. Thor has always attached great importance to issues such as keeping warm, and it can even be said that he has been well prepared, so the Baiduhao people in the territory have had a fairly warm winter.

This winter, no one starved to death, and no one died from freezing.

This seems to be just a basic requirement for assessing the overall strength of a territory, but Beth and several people who are close to Thor know that it is not easy to achieve these points, and it is clear that Thor pays as a lord. What happened.

To put it bluntly, the entire territory is currently spending Thor's money, including themselves. Thor used a large amount of materials to support the operation of the territory, in exchange for the labor of the citizens, and also in exchange for the surrounding house walls and road fences.

Beth and the others knew that Thor was the busiest person in the entire territory. Although it seemed that he didn't do anything specific while wandering around all day, there was Thor's attention behind almost everything, no matter the size or the trivial.

After the renaming of the territory was communicated, the residents knew about it, but they didn't care too much. After all, that is the will of the lord, and what they really care about is how they are doing well.

But at the end of the first month of the cold winter, the territory received a first-visit businessman, who was said to be from Kennesaw.

Although the weather is difficult to travel in winter, many businessmen think that winter is a good weather for businessmen. Because the cruel weather brought the world into a semi-stop, the danger in the wilderness has also been reduced a lot.

It's just that the businessman's journey was a bit tortuous. His original trade direction was to start from Kennazze and go straight to the nearest tide village to Kennazze. However, after getting there, he discovered that the entire Chaoxi Village didn't know what had happened, and people had gone to the building.

The trader did not achieve the purpose of trading, and the merchant was not too upset, because the news itself was brought back to Kennazar and handed over to the lord, and it could still be exchanged for a small amount of reward. Just out of the mentality of the supremacy of interests, the merchant allowed his caravan to continue toward the ash stump.

When Ash Stump saw the same deserted environment, the merchant had some fear. He thought that some terrible monsters appeared around this area and wiped out these populations.

Just as the merchant was preparing to stay away from the danger, an experienced guard in the caravan had a different opinion. The guard said that these villages did not leave any traces of fighting, and it looked more like the villagers had left or migrated by themselves.

The businessman held his chin in thought, preparing to take a look at the last human settlement in this area.

In fact, he didn't know what he wanted to see, because the last nameless settlement withered and was not on his trade route. Even if the people there still survived, it was poor and remote, and even if the caravan arrived, it would be unprofitable.

Perhaps just to confirm the guess in his heart, the businessman continued his journey stubbornly.

The next three days were supposed to take place, but only halfway through it. After more than a day, he saw the lights flickering in the darkness in the distance, it seemed...still a bit dense.

The businessman has more eagerness in his eyes, as long as there are people, even if it is unprofitable, he must take a good rest for a few days. This trip, which was supposed to be a round trip for half a month, was virtually doubled by him.

When the place was reached, the merchant was suddenly a little shocked, not because of how prosperous the place was. But I didn’t expect that a new territory would pop up here, and all the population had arrived here. I heard that it’s called the ‘Free City’.

Without Thor, Beth and Scott personally greeted the merchant and his caravan, accompanied the merchant to introduce them in the territory, and then completed some fairly satisfactory trades with each other.

The goods brought by the merchants are actually not lacking in the territory, but Beth still replaced some similar things at a fair price.

This transaction is strictly speaking of no gains, but Beth believes it is necessary and it is best not to let the merchant return empty-handed. When the businessmen bring the news to other territories, more and more business travelers will naturally hear the news.

Although Thor's survival materials are ordinary, they are considered to be a collection of local characteristics and craft styles from many territories in the mainland, which are enough to arouse the interest of merchants.

When the merchant was about to leave, Beth also gave the merchant a small mechanical clock, threatening that it was a special product of the territory, and after a period of mass production, it would be publicly sold in the territory.

This small mechanical gadget aroused the merchant's extremely strong interest, and the micro-precision craftsmanship in it shocked him. At the same time, he saw the huge business opportunity behind this product.

However, this kind of thing is not suitable for the civilian class in terms of price or use value, or should be included in the ranks of aristocratic luxury goods. Merchants immediately have clear business judgments.

When the businessman was leaving, he grabbed a enthusiastic leader and asked, only to realize that this mysterious and beautiful girl with a half-face mask who accompanied him all the way was actually the wife of the lord, and the businessman was flattered.

He decided to go back and prepare a batch of goods that are more suitable for this territory, and then run a few more times in the future to strengthen communication with this territory. As for the atmosphere of the war between the territories after the news is brought back, that is the issue that other lords need to care about.

After sending the merchant away, Beth was quite satisfied with this contact, which was a good start for the territory. Originally, she was worried about whether the location was too remote and no one would care about it. Now that a merchant can touch it, all her worries have disappeared.

As for sending out the clock and seeing the merchant's reaction, Beth has already determined the prospects of the clock as a gadget. It happens that the goblins have been in a semi-idle state this winter, and then they can increase their productivity.

When the whole territory was in peace and order, Thor was sitting bloodstained in the aisle on the third floor of the samsara dungeon, gnawing hard and coarse grains, beside him were the lizardman Stanter and the halfling Diller.

The enemies here are mostly various monsters of Tier 2 to Tier 3. Although the three of them cooperated tacitly, the intensive continuous battle of this degree still made them a little strenuous, and they were resting at the moment.

The improvement of personal strength is still extremely important, and Sol's order of life has never changed.

The people of the winter may be relatively relaxed, but the main members of Thor and Stant cannot. Now that the territory is generally stable, and there are relevant personnel in various fields, they can temporarily escape from management and return to their own practice.

Sol's future plan is that both Stanter and Diller will be the leading figures, Stanter will be responsible for the "Scarlet Cross", and Diller combined with his thief career will be responsible for the intelligence organization in the territory. aspect.

Stant and Diller had no objection to this. Out of their own stability and experience, although they would not cheer at will like ordinary citizens, they are still very satisfied and full of enthusiasm for the current life.

And after the process of eating, living, and toiling for this period of time, all sorts of bites have come down. The relationship between the three people is not like brothers, but in fact it is almost the same, but the topics between men rarely revolve around feelings. .

In terms of current strength, Thor is Tier 3, and both Steand and Diller are Tier 2.

Stanter's professional skills have a rustic name, Whirlwind. Perhaps this is why he likes to use double knives. Diller's name is ‘Shadow Pace’, which sounds bluffing, but it’s actually just a new name for Novice Thief Pace.

After half a winter night and day after day's hard work, after constantly absorbing the devil soul. The first person who had a foreboding about the advancement was Stant. After all, he had been wandering and adventurous before joining the team, and at this moment he finally reached the threshold of advancement.

Promoting a rank means an increase in strength, and it also means dealing with death. The three of them are very clear about this.

The three of them drank a drink in a small room. Compared with the excitement of the people outside, the atmosphere here is a bit low.

Life is often like this. When everyone around you thinks that you are infinitely beautiful, you are actually walking your own difficult road.

"Don't worry, go to bed, I will arrange a reliable person to take care of you, good luck." Sol and Stanter clinked glasses and patted him on the shoulder. It is meaningless to say too much about promotion. You can only rely on yourself.

"Green skin, I hope you won't become dead skin." Diller shook the jar at Stanter, sending his unique care.

"Short, you better pray that I didn't survive, otherwise the first thing I woke up was to beat you and beat you shorter." Stant and Diller slammed into the jar and fought back sharply.

"Greenskin, you are too bad for hands-on. Believe me, even if you reach Tier 3, I can still easily beat you from a lizard man to a kobold." The three joked, and the wine tank slammed into each other.

Without Stant, Sol and Diller's practice still hasn't stopped, or they know they are not qualified to stop. Behind all the prosperity, there is a corresponding price of loneliness, and behind all the prosperous scenes, there must be enough power to provide shelter.

After a few more days, Thor personally sent Diller away again, and then began to wander alone in the samsara dungeon.

The whole winter passed away silently, and Thor, who had been in the secret realm, didn't even have much specific feelings.

To a slight surprise, Diller actually woke up before Stanter after eighteen days of sleep. This guy was a little confused when he woke up, and then ran to the table and had a big meal until he couldn't walk.

Seeing Stanter who had been asleep for twenty-nine days, Sol and Diller’s eyes were a little silent.

"Let's go, this guy's life is as hard as a stone in a latrine, and he can't die." Finally Diller made a summary.

Thirty-two days later, Stanter finally woke up safely.

"Welcome back." Sol and Stean gave a hug.

"See, this guy is not only incapable of hands-on ability, but the speed of promotion is about the same as that of a snail, and his talent is estimated to be a little better than the Jackal." Diller stood on the side with his hands in disdain.

After feeling the breath of Diller's Tier 3, Stanter was stunned, and then drew out his double knives, and started a daily fight with the dwarf.

"Those who survive remember to come to eat." Saul smiled, opened the door and walked out.
