Chapter 18: Suggestions on opening a branch base Although in the eyes of historians and sociologists in modern China in the twenty-first century, the living standards of ordinary villagers in the village of Kahn in a different world have far exceeded those of Westerners in medieval Europe in all aspects, but in the twenty-second century In the eyes of Suzuki Satoru, an ordinary office worker player in the century, or Mr.
Ainz, the Lich King, he is still so poor and backward.
Handmade farm tools, crooked tables and chairs, no machinery anywhere, not even the oldest clock.
In order to prevent the sunlight from shining through the gaps in the metal gloves and letting the local aboriginal people see what was going on, Ainz gently moved his hand that was placed on the old table.
As a result, although this pair of metal gloves didn't seem heavy to him at all, the crudely made table was already shaking because of it.
The chair under his butt also made a harsh creaking sound.
It seemed that Ainz's body was a little overwhelmed.
He was truly poor.
Ainz, who didn't know the sufferings of ancient people, sighed silently in his heart, watching the village chief and his wife busy boiling water to entertain him.
From Ainz's point of view, life was really difficult for humans in this backward world.
It was so difficult to even boil a pot of water.
Because there is no electricity or gas here, you need to use a flint to create sparks to ignite the tinder, then deftly add thin sawdust to the small flame to make the flame bigger, and finally ignite the dry wood. , it took a long time to light the fire and wait for the pot of hot water to be boiled.
What's even more tragic is that the lich, who is only a skeleton, actually doesn't need food and drinks at all, and can't eat or drink anything.
So, looking down at the hard-earned cup of steaming boiled water in front of him, Ainz could only shake his head and push it aside.
Then, the village chief and his wife thanked Ainz and his companions profusely, while tentatively asking how much remuneration Ainz wanted.
At the same time, they also complained to Ainz very tactfully about being poor, saying that the village was already poor, and now it was suddenly poor again.
With so many people dead and so many things burned, I'm afraid this year will be very difficult.
I might not be able to come up with a thank-you gift that would satisfy a magician like Ainz.
I can only pay a maximum of three thousand copper coins.
In this regard, Ainz felt a little stuck.
After observing the situation in Karn Village, he has roughly understood that for the Great Tomb of Nazarick, which often requires thousands of gold coins to activate magic, the oil and water that can be squeezed out of Karn Village is better than nothing. .
Although I don’t know what the currency exchange rate of gold, silver, and copper is in this world, it’s only three thousand copper coins.
For the extremely expensive Great Tomb of Nazarick, using magic items to exchange for a big fish requires one gold coin.
It’s really a lot.
The change given to reward the little minions is too little.
Since we can't squeeze out much money or supplies, do we want to get some information about the world from him?
Ainz raised his head and glanced at the old village chief with a flattering smile on his face at the table, and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart again: This poor village chief whose memory had been wiped away didn't know that just one day ago, He had just sent his subordinates to bring the most knowledgeable guy in Karn Village to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, cast mental magic on him, and interrogate almost everything he knew.
Therefore, Ainz now views the old village chief like a pile of dried medicine dregs, without even the most basic intelligence value.
If I had known this, I should have rescued the seriously injured and dying invading knights on the grain drying field, so that I could get some fresh information, instead of ordering Narbeid to kill them all with one last blow.
Oh, it’s really troublesome.
I finally made a guest appearance as a hero.
What kind of reward should I get?
If you don’t take any thank-you gifts and just leave with a shout of thanks, you’ll look cool, but you’ll still feel like you’re at a disadvantage.
Moreover, it is also possible that these villagers will develop the habit of getting something for nothing and make even more excessive demands in the future.
After all, there is no shortage of scoundrels in the world who dig their noses into their faces.
Even in another world, there must be no exception.
But speaking of it, the heroic act of saving Karn Village this time was basically done by those little cat players.
I and the guild of the Great Tomb of Nazarick were almost like spectators from beginning to end, and even at the end He did not take any action in treating the injured villagers.
Based on this calculation, even if you really want to ask for any compensation from these villagers, they should ask for it, and you should not do it yourself.
Thinking of this, Lich King Ainz lowered his head and activated the message magic, which was roughly equivalent to having a private chat with Wang Qiu, the tabby cat who was sunbathing on the roof, "Hey, is this Wang Qiu-sang?
I have something to tell you. , the village chief is asking us what payment we want."
"What do you suggest about asking the villagers to help with labor and building a mage tower in this village?"
"Well, in view of the ancient sayings of the Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves, there is nothing wrong with the logic of setting up a sub-base outside the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
But what if the villagers refuse to agree?
As long as they think in their right mind, they will not reject the strong. requirements” "Well, you're right.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
If the villagers don't even agree to such a thing, and dare to turn against us benefactors after being massacred just now, it means that they either have some shady secret behind them, or they are a group of arrogance.
Stupid people who are not worth dealing with anymore.”
"Hey, you plan to move out of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
I don't think it's necessary."
Just as Ainz, who was wearing a mask, lowered his head in silence for a long time, and secretly used message magic to have a private chat with Qiu, the tabby cat, the village chief and his wife opposite were worried, regretting that they had been too stingy and stingy just now, and had just escaped danger.
I was worried about the remuneration, and I was afraid that the savior in front of me would turn into an evil god in anger because the remuneration was not satisfactory, but a new incident happened.
A villager, sweating profusely, burst into the village chief's house from the back door, panting, "No, this is terrible, village chief."
"What's the matter?
Can't you tell me later?
Didn't you see me entertaining distinguished guests?"
The village chief frowned displeased.
"That's incredible, village chief.
I just saw another group of people on horseback in the distance, heading towards the village."
"Why are there another group of cavalry coming to kill?"
The old village chief suddenly changed his face in shock.
After all, the massacre in the morning was still fresh in his memory.
In just one day, Kahn Village was about to be attacked twice.
How bleak is this?
What luck Obviously, many young people in the village of Kahn were killed at this time, and they were even less capable of resisting than in the morning.
Therefore, the old village chief could only look at Ainz, who seemed silent and displeased, with a pitiful begging look, hoping that this powerful foreign magician and his followers would ignore his stinginess just now.
Once again, a helping hand was extended to the village of Karn, which was facing disaster.
Well, although the whole village has never seen how this magician takes action before, but since even his cats can scratch a group of armored knights alive, they must be more powerful. right At this time, Lich King Ainz, who still had a strong sense of justice, did not disappoint the old village chief's expectations, and immediately nodded in agreement, "It's unexpected that so many people dare to attack again after being killed.
In that case, Let’s teach them a more profound lesson this time.
Don’t worry, the safety of the village is in our hands.
Please immediately gather the women and children here to take refuge.
Then we and the village chief will go out to deal with the enemy.
As for the reward, we can wait until everything is over to discuss it."
"Ah, thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your kindness.
Dear Master Magician" oshow7:
