My Magic Age
Chapter 1190 294. The Crisis of Tanton City
Two skinny beggars were lying under the eaves at the entrance of the hotel. It was raining lightly in the gray sky. They tried their best to shrink their bodies to the steps to avoid soaking their feet in the muddy water. The Hierro plane has a mild climate all year round, except all year round. There is no sunshine, and it occasionally rains, but it is definitely a livable plane.
Mr. Billy pushed open the door of the hotel, broke a piece of cold pancake in half, threw it to the beggar lying on the stone steps under the eaves, and said coldly: "Take it and leave quickly, don't affect my business here." ”
The two beggars held the cold cakes stained with muddy water in their hands, rushed into the long street with drizzle like arrows, and disappeared in a flash.
Mr. Billy sat back on the chair behind the bar, let out a long sigh, and said: "Those spider-men are all cannibals. They catch people and turn them into human pupae and hang them one by one on the dead trees. Like mummies who have lost their tombs, people are frightened by the spider-men outside the city and would rather starve to death inside the city than go out to search for food in the forest. "
Then he added: "There are also some other people who don't want to stay in the city and wait to die. They would rather die outside the city and bring food back to the city. Tanton City is short of resources. To be honest, I also feel that Those spider legs are really delicious. The meat is tender and juicy, and the shell is roasted to give a charred aroma. Just talking about it makes me salivate. "
I stared at Mr. Billy with dumbfounded eyes. I didn’t expect that there were people eating spider legs in Tandon City. I turned to Kalantso’s ear and asked her softly: “Do your soldiers over there have any left? Spider legs?"
In addition to the barbarians who like to eat this stuff, the orc warriors in Xinliu Valley also like to taste fresh food, so occasionally some stocks can be found in Xinliu Valley. In this hunting operation, there were only a dozen orc construct warriors participating in the battle. I am not sure about those Do the orcs have spider legs in stock?
Kalancso nodded slightly to me.
At this time, Mr. Billy was sighing alone and said: "So many people are trapped in Tanton City and they have to live. Now the price of everything is increasing..."
As he spoke, he pulled out a wooden box from the bar, grabbed a handful of copper plates from it, and said with a wry smile: "Now the market only accepts white silver coins and yellow gold coins. These are just a bunch of things." Scrap metal, even if it is thrown into the trash can, no one wants it.”
He saw Kalantso, Katarina and I leaving the bar. Mr. Billy asked me: "Hey...Magic Jijia, where are you going?"
I stood at the entrance of the wooden stairs, pointed to the room upstairs, and said to Mr. Billy: "I'll go to the room upstairs to take a shower and change into a set of clean clothes. I'll be back soon!"
Mr. Billy first looked at Kalantso and Katrina, and then gave me an extremely ambiguous look, as if he had understood everything about me, and said to me: "Magic Jijia, You can take a nice hot bath and I’ll call you upstairs when dinner is served!”
At this time, the tauren warrior and Justus had gathered together to chat.
Justus had a unique charm about him, and everyone seemed to enjoy chatting and drinking with him.
I opened a portal to Xinliu Valley in the room, and Kalantso stepped into Xinliu Valley.
I waited in the room and found that the bathroom in the room actually provided hot water, so I wanted to coax Catalina into the bathroom to take a bath with me. Catalina glanced at the teleportation channel in the room leading to Xinliu Valley. My face turned red with embarrassment, and I refused to agree no matter how much I tried to persuade her.
I took a hot shower in the bathroom of Justus' room and changed into a comfortable magic robe before walking out.
Kalancuo stepped out of the portal carrying a thick giant spider leg. The whole spider leg seemed to be twitching slightly, and there was a faint milky white spider blood flowing from the fracture. I asked Kalancuo in great surprise: ' Where did you get such fresh spider legs? ’
After Kalantso explained it to me a little, I realized that Kalantso had returned to Xinliu Valley and went directly to the silk reeling workshop to cut off a fresh spider leg.
Nowadays, the number of giant spiders in the Xinliu Valley silk reeling workshop has grown to more than 100. Those giant spiders whose legs have been severed and locked in iron cages have the ability to regenerate and will grow new ones from the places where their legs were broken. Spider legs come.
Seeing Kalantso walking out of Xinliu Valley, Catalina blushed slightly, with a sly smile on her face, and pulled Kalantso into the bathroom in the room.
Kalancuo put the giant spider's legs on the floor and turned to flirt with me before walking into the bathroom. The meaning in his eyes was clearly: 'Come in if you have the courage!' ’ After struggling in my heart, I really tiptoed to the bathroom door and pushed the wooden door open. I heard a ‘click’ and the bathroom door was locked from the inside.
At this time, I heard Kalancso and Catalina chuckle quietly in the bathroom. I could only stand awkwardly at the door of the bathroom and told them that I was going downstairs first.
Seeing me coming downstairs so quickly, Mr. Billy looked at me with a different expression at first, and then said seriously: "It turns out that Jijia Magician really just changed his clothes!"
The two women took a simple shower in the bathroom, then each changed into a plain linen dress, and then walked downstairs together.
When two people appeared from the stairs, one in front and one behind, carrying a three-meter-long fresh spider leg, Mr. Billy stood up from behind the bar with a look of surprise, pointed at the giant spider leg and asked me: "Mage Jijia, didn't you just say that the spider legs of the two giant spiders you met in the forest were all discarded? Later, they were picked up by the three adventurers you rescued?"
"I didn't say that I only hunted two giant spiders in the Black Forest this time..." I said to Mr. Billy.
From Mr. Billy's mouth, we learned that Tanton City is now completely paralyzed. Various supplies in the city are in short supply. Some shops on the street are empty. The copper coins in the hands of the residents in the city can no longer be exchanged for food. Every half a month, a magic airship loaded with supplies will fly from Pereira City, providing some emergency supplies to Tanton City is also a drop in the bucket.
Millions of immigrants from the Yello plane are crowded in Pereira City. The only passage between the Yello plane and the Roland Continent is in the central square of Pereira City. The portal transports various military supplies day and night, and the time available for the plane immigrants to return to the Roland Continent is less than two hours a day.
Such a short time is really insignificant for the millions of Yello plane immigrants gathered in Pereira City waiting to return to the Green Empire through the portal, which directly led to the rapid expansion of the population of Pereira City to the limit.
Even if a large number of people poured into Pereira City, there are still nearly 150,000 people living in Tanton City. The material reserves of Tanton City are far from meeting the daily lives of these people. The biggest problem is food and some living materials.
Tanton City is a plane city where adventurers gather. This city is located on the edge of the territory of the Duke of Samoyed. Many adventure groups come here to enter the Black Forest to hunt monsters in order to obtain some magic crystals and magic materials. Some adventure groups will dispose of some magic materials directly in Tanton City, exchange them for supplies and then re-enter the Black Forest to hunt.
Some nobles with adventurous spirits choose to open mines outside Tanton City, and some merchants open some workshops in Tanton City. In the past, the prosperity of Tanton City was built on these people. A large part of the materials in Tanton City were transported from Pereira City.
Now there is a problem with the supply chain between Pereira City and Tanton City, and no one knows how long Tanton City can last.
I didn't expect the situation in the Yello plane to be so bad, but think about it, even the son of the Duke of Samoyed, Zack, and the daughter of the Duke of Hewlett, Ernestine, were seriously injured in the battle in the Yello plane, so it is not difficult to imagine how bad the situation in the Yello plane is.
At present, the biggest impact on the people's hearts in Tanton City is the shortage of daily necessities.
What I am worried about is that once Tanton City falls into the hands of the Nibru Spiders, then the town of Trum will have no meaning to exist at all. Even if it is built at the risk of risk, it will be like an isolated island in the raging sea, and will face the stormy destruction of the Nibru Spiders.
Catalina and I did not stay in the hotel for dinner under Mr. Billy's invitation, but returned to the imperial capital under the pretext of leaving the city.
Minotaur Luka stayed in Tanton City to take care of Justus, and the two of them were also responsible for the information transmission between Bernd and me. I asked Justus to keep a close eye on the dwarf Bernd and his barbarian slave troops active in the Dustwallow Swamp.
…
"Why do you need so many supplies all at once?" Alia sat in front of the desk, holding a parchment list I provided with both hands, her eyebrows knitted tightly, her smart eyes swept over the words on the parchment one by one, and raised her head to ask me, "Do you know how big a warehouse is needed for 5,000 tons of whole wheat flour?"
Seeing me nod, she pressed the list of supplies in her hand on the table, leaned over and looked at me charmingly, and said to me: "You are not supporting an army, but supporting a town. These supplies are not lacking in the airport town, but the quantity is a bit huge. It will take some time to prepare them one by one according to the list."
Alia pursed her sexy lips slightly, and ordered her personal maid Betty: "Betty, let someone start preparing these supplies immediately."
She threw the list of supplies to her personal maid Betty, who agreed obediently, and then left the room with the list of supplies.
"What happened?" Alia was in a warm room, wearing only a beige sleeveless dress. Most of her dress was made of magic spider silk cloth. This kind of cloth is softer and fits the body perfectly, which can perfectly outline the curves of women's bodies.
Alia stood behind me, kneading my shoulders with both hands, letting my head rest on her belly without any fat. A sweet breath penetrated my nostrils. I looked up and couldn't see her face, but could only see her plump and upright chest.
I closed my eyes and felt that the sea of spirituality calmed down. This was also a rare moment of relaxation for me in the past few days.
I explained to Alia: "Something happened in the Yero plane. Duke Samoyed probably couldn't take care of Tanton City now. The Nibru spiders on the Yero plane have been making a lot of trouble recently, but I can't abandon Tanton City. My Trum completely needs to rely on Tanton City to be established, so I plan to send some supplies to Tanton City so that they can survive this difficult period."
I want to visit Zach tomorrow to see if there are any new developments on his side. At least I need to know the Duke of Samoyed’s next general strategic intention. If he wants to completely abandon the line along Tanton City, then my side There is no point in struggling no matter how hard you try.
Aria turned to my side, sat down next to me, and said to me: "Currently, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Charles is leading the Royal Knights of the Empire to fight in the multidimensional planes of Ahn'Qiraj, followed by the Commander of the Aix Legion of Strange Rock City. Beside me, it is said that the war situation in the multi-dimensional Ahn'Qiraj is going very smoothly. Four of the five major mithril mines there have been recaptured and production has resumed. It can be said that the magical mithril crisis in the Green Empire has been completely resolved. ”
It seems that my guess about the prosperity of San Carlos City when the magic airship passed by was indeed correct. The Babington family's industrial empire in San Carlos City is in full operation.
Aaliya added: "In addition, His Majesty Charles never said how long it would take to reinforce the Hierro plane. After all, except for a sea of black forest trees, the other resources on the Hierro plane are not very commendable. Then No matter how bad the situation is on the outside, it is not the turn to save the Hierro plane. Besides, last summer, the Hierro plane was still in the best shape among the other planes."
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness Charles really used the military power of Prince of Wales and directly took over the Royal Knights.
I asked Aaliya: "What's going on with Prince of Wales?"
"You don't want to join forces with your love rival, do you?" Aaliya looked at me with wide eyes.
"Boring! I just think His Majesty Charles should have other plans for Prince of Wales." I gave Aaliya an annoyed look.
Aaliyah clung to me like a lazy cat and said to me: "How can I know so clearly about these things in the royal family? You should ask Prince James."
Seeing that I didn't say anything, she turned to the topic and asked me, "So, you want to smuggle these materials into the plane of Hierro?"
I sighed and said, "What else can I do? I can't just watch the people over there starve to death."
Aaliya asked me with some worry: "Are you going to give away these daily necessities for free?"
I said: "How is that possible? There is a lack of living materials there, but it does not mean that they have no money. In addition, a large number of nobles gave up their properties in Tanton City during the war. Think about it for me, where should I be? It’s easier to resell something in exchange for something.”
Aaliya immediately replied: "There is nothing more convenient than trading hard currency such as gold coins. It is best to pay gold coins over there. If the turnover cannot be opened, magic crystal will also work, but it must be done in accordance with the regulations here in the imperial capital." At the exchange rate, one magic crystal can only be exchanged for five gold coins here in the imperial capital!"
