Chapter 65 It's fattening you up
After going to the home of the villagers who had a fever, William went to the shack of the wild slaves and checked the situation of the dead wild slaves.
In the past two months, only three wild slaves have died, but they are still killed due to work-related injuries.
Now, eight died in one night, and William could not help but ignore it.
When William arrived, the dead wild slaves had been dragged out and placed on the open space outside.
Most of these wild slaves were thin, either they looked older, had blue faces, purple all over, and curled up together.
Obviously, they all freeze to death.
William inspected the wild people's shacks again and found that they were simple, wet and dark, with only various weeds for heating, but the shacks were air leaking everywhere.
The temperature suddenly dropped last night, and these wild slaves with poor constitution were frozen to death!
William frowned. These wild slaves were his wealth. If they lack wealth, how could he not feel sorry for him!
He called Barthley and Donne, the managers of the wild people, and asked them, "Don't you light a bonfire to keep warm at night?"
Bartley and Donn were both the first leaders of the wild people.
Bartley and Don were aggrieved, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces.
Barthre said, "Dear, noble, powerful, and warm as the sun, Lord Baron, because of your kindness, we ignite a bonfire to keep warm at night!"
"Then why are there such a person still frozen to death?" William was still angry and continued to ask.
Barthley and Donn smiled bitterly, "Sir Baron, the flame is warm and not discriminatory, but it cannot warm all of us."
"What does it mean?" William pursed his lips.
Bartley and Don quickly explained to William.
It turned out that among the wild slaves, a bonfire was implemented to supply dozens of shacks.
Because for the convenience of management, the shack is a straight line, not a rounded circle.
This causes some shacks to be close to the bonfires, which are warm and comfortable to sleep at night, while some shacks are relatively far away from the bonfires. They are fine in the first half of the night, but they are very cold in the second half of the night.
The privileged class among wild slaves like Barthley and Donn naturally slept near the bonfire shacks, but the group of wild people who were frozen to death were all sleeping in shacks far away from the bonfires.
After learning about this situation, William asked dissatisfiedly, "Then why not ignite a few more bonfires? We are approaching the dark forest. Will the dark forest be stingy with this fuel to us?"
Barthley and Donn smiled bitterly, not daring to speak.
At this time, Old John coughed a few times, attracted William's attention, stood up and said to William, "Sir Baron, this is my idea."
"Oh, I need an explanation, Old John." Seeing that it was Old John, seeing the wrinkles on Old John's face and the silver hair added due to fatigue, William's tone became much gentler.
"Baron, the reason is very simple. Our firewood is not enough! Burning bricks and burning lime have already occupied a lot of our firewood, not to mention the large demand for wheelbarrows. Because of the load too much, our wheelbarrows will be scrapped for a period of time, and our cutting speed cannot meet all our needs."
"So, I had to make this decision." Old John said.
William was silent.
Old John said again, "And, Lord Baron, I still have to reserve firewood for the winter. If there is not enough firewood, this winter will be very long and difficult. Maybe there is no need to wait for the lizardman to come..."
William's brow frowned even deeper.
"Yes, Old John, the weather will get colder and maybe it will snow! Winter will be even harder, so what do you think you should do?"
Old John said helplessly and cruelly, "So, Lord Baron, sometimes we have to make choices!"
William felt helpless when he heard this. Unexpectedly, he had just resolved the economic crisis and food crisis, and now another energy crisis has come!
Still let people farm well?
But the problem is, it’s too late to find treasures when you want to travel through time?
The hourglass has a cooling period.
What should I do?
Escape cannot solve the problem.
William pondered for a while, then ordered, "Old John, take out the firewood you have reserved, in short, make sure that the wild slaves will not be frozen to death when they sleep!"
"But, Lord Baron..." Old John opened his mouth anxiously and wanted to object.
William raised his hand and stopped Old John from continuing to speak. He said, "Just do it! I'll find a way to do the rest!"
At this moment, William missed Freya in the village next to the Black Forest of Tataria.
She obeyed him completely and never opposed it.
But no matter how much I think about it, William still knows that such people must not be missing in the lord's career.
Besides, Old John was devoted to his good deeds.
Old John was resistant to William's orders, but thinking of William's various magical performances over the past period and the mysterious sweet powder, Old John was ignited with confidence in William.
"Maybe, Lord Baron can create miracles again!"
Under this kind of mental awareness, Old John nodded and said, "Yes, as you wish, Lord Baron!"
William nodded and ordered the wild slaves to cremate the body, and then returned to the earthen house by himself.
The entire Nisse village was once again caught in busy work, training, building walls, cutting trees, burning bricks, and transporting soil...
There are always many things to be done.
In the earthen house, William closed the door and took out the magic mirror directly.
The magic mirror spirit appears on the mirror surface.
William's face was serious and asked, "Magic Mirror, how long can your energy last now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Magic Mirror replied to William, "Master, my current energy can still last for six months, thirteen days and seven hours a year."
Hearing this, William raised his eyes and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "I've fattened you."
William has killed so many robbers in the fairy tale world this year, and it is all cheaper.
After saying that, William stood there and thought for a while, then made up his mind and said, "The Magic Mirror, except for the Shadow Swamp, in the territory of Decas, find the coal closest to the small village of Nisse."
At this point, William can only do this!
Fortunately, the magic mirror stores enough energy, which should be consumed.
"Yes, master." The magic mirror said, and a faint light flashed on the mirror.
After about ten seconds, a local environment appeared on the mirror of the magic mirror.
It was a wasteland with rocks on it.
"Master, Master, on the south side of the village of Nisse, on the road leading to Patras, fifteen kilometers away from here, ten meters underground, there is an open-pit coal mine!"
Open-pit coal mines are deposited on the surface or shallow coal layers due to geographical changes, and are directly mined by coal mines.
Compared to being far away from the surface, the well coal that can only be mined to dig up the tunnels underground, the mining cost is much lower, which is also in line with William's situation.
After all, William needs to mine coal as quickly as possible.
Time doesn't wait for anyone.
"Master, Master, my energy can last eleven months and twenty-three days at present."
Just checking a coal mine, the magic mirror burned out more than half a year of energy maintenance time.
