my age of magic

Chapter 1439
After the Nebulu spider man retreated, the two most important problems faced by the residents of the Black Forest were post-war reconstruction and the food crisis. Almost all wild animals in the Black Forest, whether they were monsters or ordinary beasts, even including Some of the large birds were slaughtered by giant spiders, and the arachnids ate everything they could eat.

After the war, the black forest has restored its former tranquility. People living in the forest need to face the future life. Food suddenly became very scarce. The shortage of meat had little effect on the Yero natives who practiced vegetarianism, but it was a bit uncomfortable for the Green Empire people living here.

In the days without stew and grilled steak, the residents of the small town of Trume began to be less picky about meat.

During the war, out of fear of the Nebulu spiders, the residents only needed food to fill their stomachs.

It's just that after the war, people began to be dissatisfied with the current situation, and had some new requirements for the food on the table. However, the lack of food has added many new things to the recipes of the residents here, walking on the free market , you can see that on the iron hooks in the butcher shop in the free market, there are some unique meats from the Hierro plane, such as the tails of some large lizards that look like ham, or rows of peeled meat. Afterwards, bullfrogs like white striped chickens and the entire swamp giant crocodile were also placed on the meat table in sections.

Probably because giant spiders don't like to be close to the river, some amphibians inhabiting the river bank survived, but they still have to be put on people's dining tables in the end.

This time I stayed in the small town of Trum for more than a day. It was a rare time for me to clean up. I took off the 'Wrath of the Earth' magic pattern structure, took off the noble medal and magician badge on the chest, and wore it in the small town of Trum. The town's particularly popular linen round-neck shirts, breeches, long leather boots, a skinning dagger in the belt, and a purse that makes a light noise when walking are hung. clothes, just like an ordinary young adventurer.

Katerina wanted to take the original design drawings of the town and discuss with the dwarf Bernd about the market area to be built in the town, so I took Pujaka and Koni to wander around the town of Trume.

The streets and alleys of this emerging town still maintain its cleanliness. The path paved with bluestone slabs has been washed by rain, revealing gray and white stripes. The gaps in the stone walls on both sides are smoothed with white lime. Just pulled out a few filaments.

I like stone walls covered with ivy, so some ivy and wild vines were planted between the walls of the houses in the small town of Trume.

The climate on the plane of Yero is warm and rainy, so there are wide canopies built in front of the house doors in each alley, so that residents can go out even in rainy days.

Although it wasn't raining at this time, the tile eaves were still very wet, and occasionally there were drops of water dripping down from it, and 'pata', 'pata' and 'pata' fell on the stone slabs, smashing them to pieces in an instant.

These houses are close to the street, and there is a small yard at the back. When I took Pujaka and Koni through a yard, I saw the owner of the yard planting trees with his two children. Wall chatted with the owner of the courtyard, and I suggested to him to plant a lemon tree, and when the lemon tree grows taller, a table can be placed under the tree.

The two children in the yard looked at Pujaka and Koni curiously. They seemed to be very curious about the indigenous people. The owner of the yard warmly invited us in for a cup of tea, but I politely declined with a smile.

The leaves of the chestnut tree they planted in the yard are already withered and yellow, and it’s summer again. Generally speaking, it is difficult for transplanted trees to survive at this time, and this chestnut tree is obviously a bit older than the age of transplanted trees. There are eight or nine chances that the chestnut tree will not survive. Apparently, the owner of the yard does not know that the chestnut tree he transplanted will not survive, so the two expectant children started to cultivate the soil and water it.

Koni opened the door from the outside of the yard and walked in. The sweet-looking girl would never be bored no matter where she was. She walked directly in front of the chestnut tree, squatted halfway, and stretched out her hand to draw pictures around the chestnut tree. Some strange runes that can only be understood by the strange natives, then half-kneeled in front of the chestnut tree, put their hands together and said a series of incomprehensible spells to the chestnut tree, and the wood elements began to condense on the chestnut tree. In front of the strange rune formation, the small chestnut tree was nourished by the wood elements, and those withered yellow leaves turned green little by little, and the whole tree seemed to come alive little by little.

Under the eyes of those children full of surprise and admiration, Koni stood up with a smile. Her figure was slender and light, and she would feel like a forest fairy in a long linen dress. The child said some words full of encouragement, and told them to take good care of the chestnut tree. The two children naturally nodded repeatedly, showing a very well-behaved appearance.

The owner of the yard did not expect to meet a Hierro indigenous girl with magical magic, and the eyes showed some awe.

After rescuing the chestnut tree, we didn't stay any longer, we directly bid farewell to the owner and left the alley.

The low wall of shrubs on the side of the road has just taken shape. These shrubs will take a certain amount of time to slowly grow lush branches and leaves. There are only some shops on both sides of the main street, and the sweet smell of baked bread comes from the bakery next to it. The taste of the mixture of yeast, wheat and honey will make people touch their belly involuntarily.

Although Pujaka and Koni were wearing linen dresses, they could still be seen as girls from indigenous tribes. When they passed the bakery, the owner of the bakery gave them each a spiral bread with The thick salad dressing and the milky bread made the eyes of the indigenous girls roll with smiles.

Although the owner of the bakery indicated that they don’t need money, Koni and Pujaka saw the price of spiral cream bread on the price list in the window, and bought the bread according to the price on the price list. He took out some copper coins from his pocket, seriously counted 26 of them, handed them to the shop owner, and turned away under the surprised eyes of the shop owner.

After leaving the bakery, I asked Pujaka curiously: "Since the owner of the bakery has said that he will give you the bread for free, why do you insist on paying for the bread?"

Holding the bread in his hand, Pujaka thought about it seriously as he walked, and said to me, "Kony and I also have some small change on hand, so we don't need the bakery owner to give us bread for nothing."

Usually Koni seldom speaks, and the granddaughter of the elder of the Gilda tribe is almost always talking and talking. Now she speaks the imperial language fluently, with a strong accent of the imperial capital.

I turned my head and asked Koni on the other side: "What about Koni, do you think so too?"

This great witch's disciple never expected that I would turn my head to ask her again, and looked at me in amazement, her big eyes were very clear, she lowered her eyelids and dared not look at me, but said silently: "I I hope that the indigenous people living in the small town of Trume can fully integrate here."

We passed through a semicircular arch, and a unique and gorgeous bridge appeared above our heads, connecting the buildings on both sides of the street together. There was a very eye-catching plaque on the arch bridge, which said Cat's Claw Hotel, this The size of the hotel is not small, and it actually straddles both sides of the street. I looked up and saw rows of white sheets drying on the roof terrace, and there were people coming and going at the door of the hotel. It seemed that the business of the hotel was pretty good.

This reminds me of Earl Zimmerman's widow, Ann Zimmerman's mother, Mrs. Jenny. I remember that she also opened a hotel in El City, and I don't know about Alia's Niece Miss Demi returned to the North no.

When I realized that my mind was distracted, I had been silent for a while, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I heard from Bernd that the aborigines in the small town live well and obey the rules."

Puyaka saluted me from the side, and then said softly: "We can have these, after all, we have to thank you. It was you who made the Green Empire people change their attitude towards us."

I said to them: "I hope this place can become a place of freedom, equality, and the rule of law. As long as you can abide by the rules here, anyone can live in this town, no matter if it is a dwarf, an elf, an orc, or a barbarian. Indigenous people or other races can live here without any discrimination."

It's as if the Yarrow natives had a plaque like 'I am an herbalist' hanging above their heads. When the three of us turned to a street that looked a bit lively, although it was not Main Cross Street, there were some on both sides of the street. Small shop, at this time, there will always be some merchant-like Green Empire people who come to us and ask Puyaka and Koni euphemistically if they have magic herbs in their hands. Regardless of any magic herbs, these merchants Guaranteed to buy at market price.

I didn't expect that there would be so many vendors buying herbs in the small town of Trum, like mushrooms after a spring rain. Obviously, there is a huge profit margin in it, and this is probably one of the reasons why the aborigines were able to quickly integrate into this small town. First, the Grimm Empire needs a large amount of healing magical herbs, and the natives of Yero are experts in collecting magical herbs in the forest. Only these natives know where those herbs grow. That's why the natives are like this Popular with townspeople.

When we came to the market, we began to see some natives of the Gilda tribe selling some magical herbs at the market. They obviously knew the price of the herbs in the town. Those merchants who wanted to sew We can't reap the benefits from them, only real herb dealers will come to their booth to inquire.

The natives of the Gilda tribe knew Puyaka and Koni. When we passed by them, these indigenous people would stand up very respectfully and salute Pujaka and Koni, as if they were paying homage to them. Princess.

Pujaka would sometimes stop and ask the natives something in their native language.

"They said that the life here is not bad. They can eat delicious wheat cakes every day, and they don't have to worry about Nebulu spiders and jungle beasts. It's just that the place where they live is a bit uncomfortable. The floors in those stone houses are very cold... ..." Pujakar walked out of the market and began to chatter to me about the content of chatting with those indigenous people.

We returned to the residence of the town's consul, which was also the temporary residence of the dwarf Bernd.

Bernd and Katerina have discussed which places the town should focus on building next.

However, Catalina and Bernd had some differences on how to build it.

Bernd believes that a large-scale melting furnace should be built outside the town near the mine. After all, there is a large-scale open-pit iron mine next to the town of Trume. Although it is still under development, the melting furnace for refining ore will sooner or later built, which will become a cornerstone of the industrial system of the small town of Trume in the future.

Katerina, on the other hand, believes that the internal environment of the town should be improved and some public facilities in the town should be increased. As the population of the town further increases, new problems begin to emerge one after another. The problems need to be solved as soon as possible at present, and the mining farm and smelting workshop can be put on later.

In the end, the stubborn dwarf Bernd compromised and decided to carry out the next step of the town's construction according to the plan Katerina said.

Before leaving, Bernd stepped on the chair with both feet, patted the table hard and said to me with a serious face: "meat, dairy products, eggs, yes... and barley... don't always bring wheat flour, I I want barley, barley for brewing ale, which dwarf do you think doesn't drink ale with dinner?"

No matter where they are, dwarves like to drink, even the small town of Trume, which is currently extremely scarce in supplies.

Bernd complained to us that recently his dinner was almost all stewed lizard tails, which made him wake up every day with the illusion that sooner or later he would turn into a large lizard, so he needs some normal meat, such as Say yellow mutton and bison, and cheese and butter...

"List, I'm talking about a detailed list. Don't always just say it casually and think I can bring it back to you." I knocked on the table and motioned him to be quiet. fixed.I said to him: "And I can't bring a lot of fresh food that is not easy to store. Those things will go bad after being stored in the Yero plane for a long time. I will try to get you some food that is easy to store."

"Can you bring a batch of gazelles over here?" Bernd asked me.

I frowned and said, "Even if I bring a batch of gazelles over...how are you going to raise them? Or are you going to convert the forest around the small town of Trume into pastures?"
