The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

"Has Hughes stopped trading with us?" William asked.

"Yes, Lord Baron, he said that trade cannot be conducted until the end of winter!" Old John replied.

William knocked on the wooden table, pondered deeply, and asked, "How is the situation in the village?"

Old John knew what William was talking about!

"The situation is not very good!" Old John said with a serious tone, "Dickas collar has not received any money now, and the expenditure is supported by your treasury. With the purchase of supplies, your property is not much left!"

"How much is left?" William asked.

"There are about three hundred gold piss left." Old John took out a stack of parchment from his pocket, looked at it carefully, and then replied.

"More than three hundred piss." William pursed his lips. He brought out a thousand piss from Patras. In three months, there were only more than 300 piss left. It was a waste of money. Like running water.

He thought for a while, then asked, "What about food?"

Old John's face became sad again, and he said, "It's even worse!"

"Worse? Tell me." Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people. This food problem is a big problem.

Villagers who can't get paid may chatter a few words, but they can't eat. This is forcing rebellion!

So William takes it very seriously.

"Originally there was enough food, but Lord Baron, you captured thousands of people, and you gave them enough food, so there is a problem of insufficient food now."

"I wanted to buy it from Hughes, but he said that Patras is no longer available!"

Old John replied with a sad face.

"Hmph! Can't buy it or don't want to sell it?" William sneered, seeing the trickiness at a glance.

But he had no way to pursue it. He thought for a while and said, "Old John, don't act like this, the problem can always be solved!"

"Don't look at them eating a lot, but they do a lot! You see, if it weren't for them, we couldn't build such a high wall in such a short period of time! Such a high wall, even if If the lizardmen come to attack, there will be nowhere to attack. We will be safe!" William said in a loud voice.

Old John's face became beaming when he heard that.

The establishment of this wall really encouraged the villagers a lot!

In the past, the villagers still had confusion and fear about the future in their hearts, but now, their faces are full of confidence in life.

It can be said that this is a wall built in the hearts of the villagers!

It wasn't long before Old John was happy, but when he thought of the cruel reality, his face turned sad again, "But, Lord Baron, if we go at the current rate of consumption, the food in our hands can only last half a month at most. time."

The grain in William’s hands refers to the 40% of the grain he expropriated from the people, as well as the grain that was forcibly purchased from the large families who left Adams, and does not include the own grain of other villagers.

Although the thousand slaves were not paid wages, they still had to pay for food.

Because what William asked them to do was physical work, William William was not as stingy in food as other slave owners.

There is no problem with eating well, but there is no problem with being full.

More than 1,000 people, plus the 120 guards who are provided with food, so many people, the food consumed every day adds up, which is not a small amount.

"Even if we buy food from other villagers, we can only last for another month at most. Baron, winter is three months long! Besides, after winter, we have to wait a long time before we can wait for the harvest season."

Hearing what Old John said, he knew that he had encountered a financial crisis and a food crisis.

The financial crisis is easy to say, but the food crisis is very serious.

But at this time, he was cut off from the source of the transaction.

There are fewer and fewer wild animals in the forest, and many hibernate in hibernation.

Waiting for the spring to bloom.

For a while, William really couldn't think of any good way, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing William's appearance, Old John felt anxious and suggested, "Master Baron, why don't we control the consumption of food. The guards can't eat so well, how about..."

"No!" William flatly refused. The army is the foundation of power, and nothing can be deducted from the army!

Think about what happened to William in the Ming Dynasty in his previous life. The army leader drank so much blood. As a result, the fighting power of the Ming Dynasty army was low, and it was not as good as the servants!

The lizardmen are coming soon, and William doesn't want to end up like Chongzhen!

Old John also felt that he had said something wrong, so he smiled awkwardly, and then said, "The baron, how about reducing the food for those slaves? If you ask Old John, you don't have to feed them so good, and you can still eat black bread. Give them batter mixed with water, add some bark and sawdust, and add some weeds. Change three meals a day to one and a half meals a day, and they will be fine if they don’t starve to death!”

Old John gave advice and advice.

It has to be said that what Old John said was a good way to save money.

But William didn't want to implement it unless it was absolutely necessary.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Let me think about it, Old John, you go out and do something first. Supervise that wall, its quality can be related to our life and death!"

"Yes! Lord Baron!" Old John left.

In the earthen house, only William was left thinking hard and thinking about countermeasures.

After thinking for a long time, William couldn't think of a good solution in reality.

He sighed helplessly, and with a thought, the Kalachakra Hourglass exuding bright and soft light appeared in front of him again out of thin air.

It took three months to charge the Kalachakra Hourglass once.

Some time ago, the hourglass was fully charged, but William has been hesitant to use it!

Because William is worried that the intestines of the world that passed through the hourglass of the time wheel will still appear in the palace of Snow White's stepmother, and this is self-inflicted trap!

William, however, had no choice now.

It can only be pinned on this magical baby.

"It would be great if you could take me to a world that could solve my current financial crisis and food crisis!" William murmured while stroking the time wheel hourglass.

The light of the hourglass of the time wheel spread, covering William, the space in front of him was torn apart soundlessly, and a dark passage exuding a terrifying aura appeared.

William raised his foot and walked in without hesitation.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...

Suddenly, his vision changed, and William appeared in a dark forest with only a faint moonlight shining down.

The main world is still daytime, and in a blink of an eye, it will be night in this world.

It's a wonder between worlds. William sighed.

But what makes him happy is that this is definitely not the Queen's territory.

He didn't continue to appear in the world of Snow White.

But what makes him confused is, where is he now?

His heart moved, and he shouted, "Magic mirror, look where I am now?"

"Master, master, is it expending energy to conduct a large-scale detection?" The magic mirror asked as usual.

The magic mirror is now also the rich and powerful master. The siege of the wild people has allowed the magic mirror to gain hundreds of young souls, and the maintenance time has been increased to two months.

That's why it has such a question.

But William is used to being thrifty, and because he is in the new world, he dare not be so extravagant and wasteful. He hesitated for a moment and replied, "Let's detect the environment within the distance from the small village of Nisai to the city of Patras, and see where it is. ? Are you still in the Kingdom of Florence?"

"Yes, master." The magic mirror in William's arms flickered and began to detect this new world.

Soon, the magic mirror finished its detection and answered William's question, "Master, master, we are not in the Kingdom of Florence now. Based on the analysis of the environment and language within the detection range, we are now in the Kingdom of Florence In the south, there are several kingdoms and principalities separated by the Tataria Alliance. The Tataria Alliance is an autonomous alliance formed by the union of several city-states, and the Nagirian language is prevalent in the alliance."

The queen has used it to detect the entire world before, so the mirror spirit knows all this information, and only then can a conclusion be drawn through a simple comparison.

"That is to say, I am still in the world of "Snow White", but not in the kingdom of Florence where the queen is." William frowned, "But what treasures in "Snow White" can make me discover?" Cassling's survival crisis?"

For a while, William had so many thoughts in his mind that he couldn't figure it out.

In the dark night, the howling of wolves in the forest woke William up.

As soon as he thought about it, he made up his mind, "Forget it, let's take one step first and then count another step, and see what opportunities there are in this world? Magic mirror, is there a place where people live nearby?"

"Master, there are two places!" The magic mirror replied, it has already detected the information just now, so there is no need to waste energy to re-detect it, "One way goes to the north, with the master's footsteps, it takes two hours and forty-five You can see a manor in minutes!"

The concept of minutes was taught by William to the magic mirror. Otherwise, every time the magic mirror estimated the time, the magic mirror would always use the burning time of the candle to estimate, and William would be very desperate!

"The other place is in this forest. Go south and walk for fifteen minutes, and you will see a house!"

"Is there a house in the forest? Is it a hunter?"

One more than two hours, one fifteen minutes, William made a decision without even thinking about it.

At this time, the magic mirror said again, "Master, master, the current energy can last for one month and thirteen days."

"It consumes so much?" William was a little surprised. It used to last for more than two months, but suddenly lost the energy for a month. After a pause, he nodded expressionlessly, and said, "I see!"

The magic mirror fell silent, while William clenched the cross sword in his hand and walked towards the house silently.

On the road, what surprised William was that there were peas on the right side of the road, and broad beans on the left side of the road.

In the middle of the road, there is a cloud of ashes, as if guiding him forward.

William couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity in his heart.
