289. Thanks for coming to Lavenham City
Two skinny beggars lie under the eaves at the entrance of the hotel. It was raining lightly in the gray sky. They tried to shrink their bodies to the steps to avoid soaking their feet in mud. The Jero plane has a mild climate all year round. In addition to not seeing the sun all year round, it will occasionally rain continuously, but it is definitely a livable plane.
Mr. Billy pushed open the hotel gate, broke a hard and cold cake in half, threw it to the beggar who was lying on the stone steps under the eaves, and said coldly: "Take it and leave quickly, don't affect my business here."
Two beggars held the cold cakes stained with mud and water in their hands, rushed into the long street with drizzle like flying arrows, and ran away without a trace.
Mr. Billy sat back on the chair behind the bar, sighed a long time, and said, "Those spiders are all human-eating people. After they captured the people, they became human pupas and hung them on dead trees, like mummies that had lost their graves. People were scared by spiders outside the city and would rather starve to death in the city than go out to search for food in the forest."
Then he said, "There are other people who don't want to stay in the city and wait for death. They would rather die outside the city than bring food back to the city. The resources here in Tanton City are in short supply. To be honest, I have tasted those spider legs. It's really rare to be delicious. The meat is tender and juicy. It's roasted with the shell and it smells burnt. It feels like saliva is about to flow out."
I looked at Mr. Billy with dumbfoundedness. Unexpectedly, someone in Tanton City was eating spider legs. He turned his head and leaned against Kalancho's ear and asked her softly: "Do you have any remaining spider legs in your hands?"
In addition to the barbarians who like to eat this thing, the orc warriors in Xinliu Valley also like to taste fresh ones. Therefore, occasionally some inventory can be found in Xinliu Valley. This time, only a dozen orc warriors in the orcs participated in the battle. I am not sure if those orcs have spider legs in their hands.
Kalancho nodded slightly at me.
At this time, Mr. Billy said with emotion alone: "So many people are trapped in Tanton City, and they always have to live. Now everything is rising prices..."
As he said that, 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 is only willing to collect white silver and yellow gold coins. These things are just piles of scrap copper and iron. Even if they are thrown into the trash can, no one wants them."
He saw Kalancho and Katerina and the other three leave the bar, and Mr. Billy asked me, "Huh...Master Giga, where are you going?"
I stood at the wooden staircase, pointed to the room upstairs, and said to Mr. Billy: "I'll go to the room upstairs to take a shower, change into a clean set of clothes, and come back soon!"
Mr. Billy first looked at Kalancho and Katerina, then showed me an extremely ambiguous look, as if he had already seen everything about me, and said to me: "Master Giga, you can take a comfortable hot bath. I will go upstairs to call you when dinner starts!"
At this time, the Taurus Warrior had already gathered with Justus to chat.
Justus has a unique charm, and it seems that everyone likes to chat and drink with him.
I opened a portal to Xinliu Valley in the room, and Kalancho walked into Xinliu Valley.
I was waiting in the room and found that the bathroom in the room actually provided hot water, so I wanted to coax Caterina into the bathroom to take a shower with me. Caterina glanced at the portal leading to Xinliu Valley in the room, her face flushed with shame, and she refused to agree no matter how I persuaded her.
I took a hot shower in the bathroom of Justus' room, changed into a comfortable magic robe before I walked out.
Kalancho was carrying a thick giant spider leg and stepped out of the portal. The whole spider leg seemed to be twitching slightly, and a faint milky white spider blood flowed from the broken mouth. I asked Kalancho in surprise: "Where did you get such a fresh spider leg?"
Kalancuo explained to me a little, and then I realized that Kalancuo returned to Xinliu Valley and actually went directly to the silk reeling workshop to cut a fresh spider leg back.
Nowadays, the giant spiders in the silk reeling workshop of Xinliugu have grown to more than 100. The giant spiders whose spider legs have been cut off and are locked in an iron cage have the ability to regenerate and will grow new spider legs from the place where the legs are broken.
Seeing Kalancho coming out of the Sinliu Valley, Katrana blushed slightly, with a sly smile on her face, and pulled Kalancho into the bathroom in the room.
Kalancho put the giant spider's spider legs on the floor. Before entering the bathroom, he turned his head and tickled me. The meaning in his eyes was: "If you have the courage, come in!" After struggling in his heart, I really tiptoed to the bathroom door to push the wooden door of the bathroom, but heard a 'knock' sound, and the bathroom door actually locked from the inside.
At this time, I heard Kalancho and Katerina chuckling in the bathroom. I could only stand awkwardly at the bathroom door and told them to them that I would go downstairs first.
Seeing me going downstairs so quickly, Mr. Billy looked at me with a different look at me at first, and then said seriously: "It turns out that Magic Jijia really just changed his clothes!"
The two women took a simple shower in the bathroom, changed into plain linen skirts, and then walked downstairs together.
When the two of them came out from the stairs, one after another, carrying a three-meter-long live spider leg that appeared from the entrance of the stairs, Mr. Billy stood up from behind the bar with a look of surprise, pointed at the giant spider leg and asked me: "Master Jijia, didn't you just say that the two giant spiders you met in the woods were all discarded? Later, the three adventurers you rescued were picked up?"
"I didn't say that I only hunted two giant spiders when I ran to the Black Forest this time..." I said to Mr. Billy.
From Mr. Billy's mouth, we learned that Tanton City is now completely semi-paralyzed, and all kinds of supplies are in short supply in the city. Some shops on the street are empty, and the copper plates in the hands of the residents in the city can no longer be exchanged for food. Every half month, a magic airship full of 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 Yero plane are congested in the city of Pereira. The only passage between the Yero plane and the Roland Continent is in the central square of the city of Pereira. The portal transports various military supplies day and night, and it is freed up for the plane to return to the Roland Continent for less than two hours every day.
Such a short time was really insignificant for millions of Irres 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 flocked to Pereira City, there are still nearly 150,000 people living in Tanton City. The material reserves in Tanton City are far from meeting the daily lives of these people. The biggest problem is food and some daily necessities.
Tanton City is a plane city where adventurers gather. This city is located on the edge of the Duke of Samoyed. Many adventure groups come here to hunt monsters into the Black Forest to obtain some magic crystals and magic materials. Some adventure groups will directly deal with some magic materials in Tanton City, in exchange for supplies and then re-enter the Black Forest to hunt.
Some adventure-oriented nobles chose to open mines outside Tanton City, and some merchants opened workshops in Tanton City. In the past, Tanton City's prosperity was built on these people. A large part of the supplies in Tanton City were transported from Pereira City.
Now there is a problem with the material supply chain between Pereira City and Tanton City, and no one knows how long Tanton City can last.
I never expected that the situation in the plane of Jero was so bad, but after thinking about it, even Zach, the son of the Duke of Samoyed and Ernestine, the daughter of Duke Hellit, were seriously injured in the battle of the plane of Jero, so it is not difficult to imagine how bad the situation in the plane of Jero was.
At present, the most important 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 Nebru Spiderman, then the town of Trum will have no meaning of existence. Even if it is built on a risk, it will be like an isolated island in the sea of rage, and will face the destruction of the Nebru Spiderman as storm.
Caterina and I did not stay in the hotel for dinner at the kind invitation of Mr. Billy, but instead went out of the city and returned to the imperial capital.
The Taurus Ruka stayed in Tanton to take care of Justus, and the two of them were also responsible for the transmission of information between Bornder and me. I wanted Justus to pay close attention to the dwarf Bornder and his savage slave troops who were active in the dusty swamps.
...
"Why do you need so much daily necessities all at once?" Alia sat in front of her desk, holding a list of supplies written on parchment paper provided by me in her hands, frowned in a ball, her smart eyes swept across the parchment one by one, and looked up and asked me, "Do you know how big a warehouse is for 5,000 tons of whole wheat flour?"
Seeing me nodding, she pressed the list of supplies on the table, leaned over and looked at me with a charming face, and said to me: "You are not supporting an army, you are simply supporting a town. There is no shortage of these supplies in the small towns of airports, but the number is a bit large. It will take some time to prepare one by one on the list."
Alia pursed her sexy lips slightly and ordered to her close maid Betty: "Betty, let someone start preparing these supplies immediately."
She threw the list of supplies to her personal maid Betty. Betty obediently agreed, and then left the room with the list of supplies.
"What happened?" Alia was wearing only a beige sleeveless long skirt in the warm room. Now most of her long skirts are cut from magic pattern spider silk cloth. This fabric is softer and more close to the body, and can perfectly outline the curves of women's figures.
Alia stood behind me, kneading my shoulders with her hands, letting my head press on her fat-free belly, and a sweet breath penetrated into my nostrils. I raised my head and couldn't see her face, but only her plump and upright chest.
I closed my eyes and felt that the sea of spirit calmed down. This is also a rare moment of relaxation in recent days.
I explained to Alia: "It was something happened in the Yero plane. The Duke of Samoyed is probably difficult to take care of Tanton City now. The Nebru Spiderman on the Yero plane has been making a big fuss recently, but I can't abandon Tanton City. My Trum completely needs to rely on Tanton City to build it, so I am going 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 trends there. At least I need to know the general strategic intentions of the Duke of Samoyed next step. If he wants to completely give up along Tanton, then no matter how hard I struggle, it will be meaningless.
Alia turned to me, sat down with me, and said to me: "Now His Highness Charlie is leading the Imperial Knights to fight on the Amcherado plane. With the commander of the Axe Legion of the Axe Legion in the Mirado City, it is said that the battle situation in the Amcherado plane is progressing very smoothly. Four of the five Mirasil mines over there have been recaptured and production has resumed. It can be said that the magic Mirasil crisis in the Green Empire has been completely eliminated."
It seems that when the magic airship passed by San Carlos, the speculation I made when I saw the prosperity of San Carlos was indeed correct. The Babington family was operating in the industrial empire of San Carlos.
Alia said: "In addition, His Majesty Charles never said how long it will take to reinforce the Jero plane. After all, except for a sea of Hessian trees on the Jero plane, other resources are not worthy of praise. No matter how bad the situation there is, it is not the turn to save the Jero plane. Besides, last summer, the Jero plane was still the best among many planes."
Unexpectedly, His Highness Charlie really moved the military power of the Prince of Wales and took over the Royal Knights directly.
I asked Alia: "What's going on over the prince of Wales?"
"You might want to join forces with your rival, right?" Alia said with wide eyes and stared at me.
"Bored! I just thought that His Majesty Charles should have other arrangements for the Prince of Wales." I waited for Alia angrily.
Alia stuck 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, do you want to smuggle these materials to the plane of Jero?"
I sighed and said, "Otherwise, what else can I do? I can't watch the people there starve to death."
Alia asked me with some concern: "You are not going to give these daily necessities for free, right?"
I said, "How is that possible? There is a lack of daily necessities there, but it does not mean that they have no money. In addition, a large number of nobles gave up the industry in Tanton during the war. I thought about it. I should exchange something over there and make it easier to change hands."
Alia immediately replied: "Nothing is more convenient than trading hard currency like gold coins. It is best to pay gold coins there. If the turnover is not open, the magic crystal stone is of course OK, but it must be based on the exchange rate on the imperial capital. A magic crystal stone can only be exchanged for five gold coins in the imperial capital!"—
