Chapter 388: Plastic Wand (Ⅰ)

In the warehouse, a group of sullen jackals haven't recovered yet, and there have been dense wind breaking sounds outside the doors and windows.
Countless arrows flew in to penetrate the body of the remaining jackals, and in a flash, they were all shot into "hedgehogs", howling and falling down in the pool of blood.
Magni led the Assa hunter into the warehouse, one by one to make up for the jackals who had not yet died.
When all the gangsters were killed, Joan also entered the warehouse and saw a sack of flour piled up on the shelves, his lips slightly raised.
The unfortunate Pickmans were all killed by the gangsters. Before the headquarters appointed a new military food supplier, the warehouse would be taken over by the South Corps.
Joan visually inspected that the stock of flour was no less than 500 tons. At least for the whole year, the troops did not have to worry about bread.
When Joan counted the grain, Magni led the Assa hunter to move the corpse of the werewolf out of the warehouse, gathered together with the gangsters who had died in the mill, and poured light on the arson.
They have made such a big battle here, and it is inevitable that they will disturb the residents of Dafeng Town.
First, a few daring passers-by ran to see the excitement, and learned that the gangsters of the jackals who had entrenched the town had been annihilated by the military, and they happily relayed it to their family neighborhood.
In this way, ten times, ten times, hundreds, and within an hour, almost all the townspeople learned of the good news and ran to watch.
Seeing the black crowd outside the warehouse door, Joan whispered a few words to Magni.
Magni nodded repeatedly and asked Joan with confusion: "You are very thoughtful, but I don't understand why you don't go out and announce these things to the townspeople, which will make you win their love and become them. The hero in my mind."
"I'm not good at dealing with strangers, or Brother Magni, let's go." Joan looked embarrassed.
"No wonder Kandy said you were like a little girl, blushing and shy if you couldn't move." Magni laughed, "Well, I'll go out and tell them!"
Magni took the Dingdore brothers out of the granary and stood in front of the gate with hands on hips. The tall and burly figure and the graceful manners of the device were completely in line with people's imagination of a chivalrous knight.
The residents of Dafeng Town deterred him from the powerful gas atmosphere, all stopped talking, hundreds of eyes focused on Magni.
"The folks in Dafeng Town, I have three good news to tell you!"
Magni followed Joan's instructions and raised his voice to announce to everyone that the gangsters of the wolf who had been entangled in the strong wind town had been annihilated by the corps of Yalfheim he belonged to, and avenged the slain Pickman family. After that, everyone no longer has to worry about being bullied by the group of cannibal monsters.
Although most of the townspeople had already heard of the news, listening to Magni confirmed it was true, he couldn't help applauding and cheering, and sincerely thanked the military for helping them to eliminate a major scourge.
After people's emotions calmed down a bit, Magny then announced the second good news:
"Starting today, Pickman’s mills, warehouses, and grain stores are all taken over by the military. We promise to follow the rules set by Mr. Pickman during his lifetime and sell flour to the townsmen at a fair price. Pricing returned to 3 copper coins per pound!"
Magni's words fell, and the town people cheered in unison again, and some even burst into tears.
Joan fully understands why locals react so fiercely to changes in food prices.
Dafeng Town is a barren land. The winds that roared all year round wiped away the top soil rich in water and nutrients, leaving only rough gravel.
Growing grain on such land, no matter how hard it is, it will be difficult to get a good harvest.
Local people mostly live on grazing and hunting, and exchange cashmere and game for bread.
The increase in flour prices means that they can get less bread, and many poor people have to be hungry.
Compared with the jackal gangs who control the town’s food supply, the price of a silver coin per pound of flour is as high as the price of a silver coin. All residents of the town bring a great gospel.
Magni hitting the iron while hot, and then announced the third good news, in fact, this is their main purpose of coming to Dafeng Town.
"In order to resist the jackal gangsters who frequently flowed through the brass pass, the military decided to build a fortress near Dafeng Town to station troops. For this purpose, a large number of construction workers need to be recruited. Healthy adult men can come to me to sign up. One silver coin per day will be settled on the same day, no deductions!"
For city people living in Port Leiden, a silver coin is only enough to take a public carriage or buy a newspaper. However, for those living in remote towns, a sound silver coin can be exchanged for three There is still a pound of flour left, which is enough to maintain the daily food expenses of a family of five. It is already a high salary.
Moreover, working on the construction site does not require any special skills. It is enough to have the strength. The most important thing for the rural man is strength, and they are actively signing up.
Joan is responsible for registering the registered workers.
He thought it would be very good to recruit 100 strong laborers for this trip. As a result, the total number of people registered in the end was no less than 200, which will undoubtedly shorten the construction period of the fortress.
After arranging work arrangements, Magni left half of the Assa hunters in charge of guarding the granaries, rented more than ten carts in the town, and escorted them back to the barracks with flour.
George Vassar is waiting for them to return, listening to the Magni, Joan and Dindal brothers telling their experiences in Dafeng Town, applauding them for appeasing the townspeople, and leaving Joan alone afterwards, saying there is one thing Important military supplies must be handed over to him.
"Mr. Vassar, since it is a very important thing, you should keep it in person, why should you give it to me?" Joan asked puzzlingly.
"This thing has no value in my hands, only you can stimulate its magic and help the workers build the fortress."
Lieutenant Colonel Vaasa smiled mysteriously, and then took a two-foot-long ivory rod-like object about two thumbs thick from the storage bag, held it with both hands, and handed it to Joan very solemnly.
Joan took the thin rod and felt the strong magical power fluctuations at the moment of tentacle, and immediately realized that it was a "magic wand".
He looked down and found that the wand was made of clay, and the surface showed a smooth and delicate texture unique to ceramics. One end of the wand was inlaid with a red drop-shaped gem as large as a dove egg.
At first, Joan thought it was a "ruby" or "zircon", and after careful discrimination, he realized that it was actually a "crimson tear".
This rare ore of bright color is said to have been formed by the tears shed for loved ones who died in war.
In the jewelry store, "Crimson Tears" is almost the same as ordinary rubies, but in the view of Joan, who is good at enchanting craftsmanship, the difference between "Crimson Tears" and "Ruby" in the field of enchanting can be greatly different.
