After the Nibru spiders retreated, the two most important problems faced by the inhabitants of the Black Forest were post-war reconstruction and food crisis, almost all the wild animals in the Black Forest, whether it was magical beasts or ordinary beasts, and even some large birds were slaughtered by giant spiders, and the spiders ate everything they could eat.After the war, the Black Forest returned to its former tranquility, and the people who lived in the forest needed to face the future life, for those who lived in Tanton City and the small town of Trum, but after the Spider Man left, the food in the forest suddenly became very scarce, and the shortage of meat food had little impact on the vegetarian Yero natives, but it was a little uncomfortable for the people of the Grimm Empire who lived here.The days when there were no stews and kebabs made the residents of the small town of Trem less picky about meat.During the war, the inhabitants feared the Nibru spiders and simply needed food to fill their stomachs.It's just that after the war passed, people began to be dissatisfied with the current situation, and there were some new requirements for the food on the table, but the lack of food made the residents here add a lot of new things to their recipes.
The entire swamp crocodile was also placed on the meat table in sections.Presumably because giant spiders don't like to be near rivers, some of the amphibians that inhabit the banks of rivers are lucky enough to survive, but they still end up on people's tables.This time I stayed in the town of Trum for more than a day, and I had a rare time to clean up, taking off the Wrath of the Earth Demon Pattern Structure, taking off the Order of Nobility and the Magician Badge on my chest, wearing a linen crewneck shirt, breeches, long leather boots, a skinning dagger in my belt, and a money bag that clicks softly when I walked, which is the most common clothing worn by the residents of Trem Town, just like an ordinary young adventurer.Caterina was going to take the town's original blueprints and discuss the town's upcoming market area with the dwarf Bernd, so I took Pujaka and Connie and walked around the town of Troum.The streets of this uptown are still tidy, the bluestone paved paths have been washed by the rain, revealing gray streaks, the gaps in the stone walls on both sides have been smoothed out with white lime, and the creepers at the foot of the walls have only just pulled out a few filaments.I like to climb the stone walls full of creepers, so I planted some creepers and wild vines between the walls of the houses in the small town of Trum.The climate of the Hiero Plane is warm and rainy, so the doors in each alley are built in front of the wide eaves to cover the rain, so that residents can go out on rainy days.Although it was not raining at this time, the eaves were still very wet, and occasionally water droplets dripped from them, and they fell on the stone slabs and shattered in an instant.These houses are next to the street, and there is a small yard behind them, and when I passed a yard with Puyaka and Connie, I saw the man in the yard planting a tree with his two children, so I talked to the owner of the yard through the courtyard wall, and I suggested to him to plant a lemon tree, and when the lemon tree grew taller, I could also set a table under the tree.The two children in the courtyard looked at Puyaka and Coney curiously, they seemed to be very curious about the natives, and the owner of the yard warmly invited us in for a cup of tea, and I smiled and politely declined.The chestnut tree they planted in the yard had already turned yellow, and it was summer, and it was usually difficult for the transplanted trees to survive at this time, and this chestnut tree was obviously a little older than the transplanted tree, which seemed to me eight times out of ten.
The chestnut tree could not survive, and apparently the owner of the yard did not know that the chestnut tree he transplanted would not survive, so he asked the two children who were full of anticipation to start cultivating the soil and watering it.Connie pushed the door from outside the courtyard and walked in, the sweet-looking girl would not be bored no matter where she was, she walked directly to the chestnut tree, half-squatting, stretched out her hand to draw some strange talismans around the chestnut tree that only the aborigines could understand, and then half-knelt in front of the chestnut tree, folded her hands and chanted a series of incomprehensible spells on the chestnut tree, the wood element began to condense in front of the strange talisman, the small chestnut tree was moistened by the wood element, and the withered yellow leaves became emerald green little by little, The whole tree seems to come to life little by little.In the eyes of those children full of wonder and adoration, Connie stood up with a smile, her figure was slender, her body was light, and she would feel like a jungle fairy in a long linen dress, she said some words of encouragement to the two children, and told them to take good care of the chestnut tree, and the two children naturally nodded again and again, showing a very well-behaved appearance.The owner of the courtyard didn't expect to meet a native girl with magical magic, and the eyes showed some awe.After rescuing the chestnut tree, we didn't stay any longer, and left the alley with the owner.The low walls of bushes along the roadside are still in their infancy, and it takes time for these shrubs to grow their leafy foliage, and only on the sides of the main street are there shops lined with the sweet smell of toast, a mixture of yeast wheat and honey that makes you feel the belly with your hands.Although Puyaka and Coney were wearing linen dresses, they could still tell that they were girls from the indigenous tribe, and when they passed by the bakery, the owner of the bakery actually gave each of them a spiral bread with a thick salad dressing, and the abundant milky bread made the eyes of the indigenous girls smile.Although the shopkeeper of the bakery signaled that he did not need money, Connie and Puyaka saw the price of the spiral brioche bread on the price list in the window, and paid for the bread according to the price list on the price list, and they took out some copper plates from the money bag, carefully counted out twenty-six, handed them to the shopkeeper, and turned away under the surprised gaze of the shopkeeper.After leaving the bakery, I asked Puyaka curiously, "Why do you insist on paying for the bread when the owner of the bakery has said that he will give it to you for free?"
”Puyaka took the bread in his hand, thought about it seriously as he walked, and said to me, "Connie and I have some change on hand, and we don't need the bakery owner to give us bread for nothing." ”Usually Connie's words are very few, almost all of them are the granddaughter of this Gilda tribal elder who keeps talking and talking, and now she has spoken the imperial Chinese fluently, with a very heavy imperial capital accent.I turned to Connie on the other side and asked, "What about Connie, think so, too?"
”The disciple of the Great Witch didn't expect that I would turn my head to ask her again, and looked at me a little stunned, her big eyes were very clear, she lowered her eyelids and didn't dare to look at me, but said silently: "I hope that the natives living in the small town of Trum can fully integrate here." ”We passed through a semicircular arch, and a unique and ornate bridge appeared overhead, connecting the buildings on both sides of the street, and there was a very eye-catching plaque hanging on the arch bridge, which said Cat's Paw Hotel, this inn was not small, it actually spanned both sides of the street, I looked up and saw rows of white sheets drying on the roof terrace, and the door of the hotel was also full of people, and it seemed that the business of the hotel was quite good.It reminds me of the widow of Earl Zimmermann, Ann.
Zimmerman's mother, Lady Jeanne, I remember that she also seemed to have an inn in El City, and I wonder if Arya's niece, Miss Demi, had returned to the North.By the time I found myself wandering, there had been silence for a while, so I had to bite the bullet and say, "I heard Bernd say that the natives in the town live well and are very well-behaved. ”Puyaka saluted me and whispered, "We have all this, thanks to you, you have changed the attitude of the Grimm Empire towards us. ”I said to them, "I would like this to be a place of freedom, equality, and the rule of law, and that as long as the rules are followed, anyone can live in this town, whether it be dwarves, elves, orcs, barbarians, natives, or any other race, without any discrimination." ”It's like the Yero natives have a plaque like I'm a herb merchant hanging above their heads, and when the three of us turn to a street that looks a little lively, although this is not the main cross street, but there are some small shops on both sides of the street, there will always be some merchants who look like Grimm people coming up to us, asking Puyaka and Connie tactfully if they have any magic herbs in their hands, no matter what magic herbs, these merchants promise to buy them at the market price.I didn't expect that the traders who bought herbs in the small town of Trum actually sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and suddenly there were so many of them, obviously there was a huge profit margin here, which was probably one of the reasons why the natives were able to quickly integrate into this town, the Grimm Empire needed a large number of healing magic herbs, and the natives of Hierro were experts in collecting magic herbs in the forest, only these natives knew where those herbs grew, and because of this, the natives would be so popular with the townspeople.When we came to the bazaar, we began to see some of the indigenous people of the Gilda tribe who set up stalls in the bazaar to sell some magical herbs, they obviously knew the price of the herbs in the town, and the merchants who wanted to sew it from it could not get any benefit from them, only the real herb merchants would come to their stalls to ask for a price.These natives of the Gilda tribe knew Puyaka and Connie, and when we passed in front of them, they would stand up very respectfully and salute Puyaka and Connie as if they were worshipping their princess.At times, Puyaka would stop and ask the natives what they were talking about in the indigenous language."
They say it's a good time here, you can eat fragrant wheat cakes every day, and you don't have to worry about the Nibru spiders and jungle beasts, but the place where you live is a little unaccustomed, and the floor in those stone houses is very cold," Puyaka said to me as she walked out of the bazaar and began to babble to me about the conversations with the natives.We return to the town archon's quarters, which are also the temporary dwelling of the dwarf Bernd.Bernd and Caterina had already discussed what the town should focus on next.However, there are some disagreements between Katerina and Bernd about how to build it.Bernd thinks that a large furnace should be built outside the town near the mine, after all, there is a large open-pit iron mine next to the town of Tron, although it is still in a state of undeveloped for the time being, but the furnace for refining ore will have to be built sooner or later, which will become a cornerstone of the industrial system of the town of Trem in the future.Caterina believes that the next step is to continue to improve the internal environment of the town, increase some public facilities in the town, as the population of the town further increases, and new problems begin to emerge one after another, which need to be solved as soon as possible, and the mining and smelting workshops can be put on the back burner.In the end, the stubborn dwarf Bernd relented and decided to follow the plan Catalina had told him to proceed with the next step in the town's construction.Before leaving, Bernd put his feet on the chair, slapped the table and said to me with a serious face: "Meat, dairy, eggs, yes, and barley don't always bring wheat flour, I want barley, barley that can make ale, which dwarf doesn't drink ale wine at dinner?"
”Everywhere they go, the dwarves love to drink, even in the desperately scarce town of Troum.Bernd complained to us that lately his dinner has been almost all stewed lizard tails, which makes him wake up every day with the illusion that sooner or later he will turn into a big lizard, so he needs some normal meat, like yellow lamb and unicorn bison, and cheese and butter" list, I'm talking about the detailed list, don't always talk about it and think I can bring it back to you. ”I tapped on the table to signal him to be quiet, a problem that he couldn't solve with a loud voice.I said to him, "And I can't bring over a lot of fresh food that is not easy to store, it will rot after not long in the Hiero plane, and I will try to get you some food that is easy to store." ”"Can you bring a batch of yellow sheep over?"
Bernd asked me.I frowned and said, "Even if I bring a batch of yellow sheep over, how are you going to raise them?"
Or are you going to convert the forest around the small town of Trum into pasture?
