This was the first time the sapling had shown interest in something...other than letting someone else's hair grow.
Ange quickly reached out to take the chain, but the woman held on tightly, like holding on to a life-saving straw.
Oh, in exchange for food, Ange understood and reached out to take it out, but was stopped by Nigris: "Don't scare people, who is that, Ji Li?"
Ji Li held the bag and wanted to run. As soon as she moved, Duroken's big hand pressed on her shoulder.
"I knew it would be like this. Fortunately, I baked two big bags." Ji Li proudly took out a bag of beef patties and then held the bag tightly.
Ji Li fully learned the lesson from the last time. She threw all her luggage into the storage ring and only carried beef patties on her back.
There are so many storage accessories that you can pick up seventeen or eight items in one hand. From space bags to storage rings, as long as the space is not particularly large, you can pick them up.
There are a lot of materials, so the worst thing is to bring them over and let Duroken refine them on site.
There were only a few people under his command, and of course each of them was given one. This extravagance shocked both Rocks and Ji Li.
Ji Li's bag was full of food, and her storage ring also contained some, ensuring that she would be able to eat for a month even if she got lost in the desert.
Ange stuffed a pack of beef patties into the woman's arms and replaced her necklace.
Such a big bag of beef patties was stuffed into the woman's arms, which made her confused. What is the most expensive thing in Stromgarde now? It's just food.
Originally, she thought it would be good to exchange for two or three pancakes. Such a big bag would be enough for her to save food for half a month. This was... terrible.
The woman was agitated, and when she looked back alertly, she saw the dying people all around. They all got up at this moment, their eyes glowing green, staring closely at the big bag in the woman's arms.
Although it was unclear what was inside, there was no doubt that the oily mark on the outer packaging and the faint smell of wheat inside was food.
The woman quickly stuffed the big bag of beef patties back into Ange's hands and said eagerly: "Wait for me."
Then he ran back quickly. He was dying and slow just now, but now his movements are as nimble as a rabbit.
The woman ran back and took out two children from the crowd, a boy and a girl about five or six years old.
A skinny man next to him reluctantly grabbed the little girl's calf. People's emotions in this situation are very crazy: I'm starving to death, you got the food but you don't care about me?
I would rather not take advantage but let you suffer a loss. This is the mental portrayal of a skinny man.
The woman pulled hard, but she didn't move. Instead, she made the little girl whimper. The little girl was also dying and had no strength to even cry.
The woman was furious, but something that scared her even more happened. The skinny man's movements alerted more people. Several people nearby got up and stretched out their hands towards the two children with green eyes.
These people are probably thinking: You got food, we will arrest your children, and you will exchange for food.
Hunger makes these ordinary people who may have been peaceful become cruel and vicious.
Ange tilted his head, flicked his fingers, and the two resentful spirits were ejected by him.
At first, the vengeful spirit was just two drops of smoke, but after leaving his finger, it quickly grew in size. Within five meters, it had transformed into a strong vengeful spirit as tall as a person, crawling quickly on all fours, with its eyes radiating a ferocious red light.
Ange always remembered that Negris asked him to pretend to be a necromancer, otherwise he would use the Holy Word now and lock those guys up with the shackles of original sin.
However, despite this, Nigris couldn't help but cover his face: "Constrain it, please restrain it, Level 6 Wraith Ranger, you let it go with just a snap of your fingers? Do you want to scare people to death? Hey, no, why do you Can you cast level six magic?"
Ange tilted his head blankly.
Duroken guessed the reason: "Because the essence of the Wraith Ranger is a wraith, not magic. As an immortal god, it is too easy to summon a wraith. This is not magic, this is the call of a saint. .”
Climbing to the woman's side, the two resentful spirits grabbed a handful of the skinny man's face respectively. The skinny man couldn't help but scream miserably, and naturally he let go of the little girl's hand.
The resentful spirit stuffed the caught 'thing' into its mouth, its red eyes swept around, and the rest of the people fled in fear.
The woman quickly ran back to Ange with the two children, took the beef patties, opened them hurriedly, put one in each child's hand, took one herself, and started gobbling it up.
They ate so fast that both the woman and the two children choked. Nigris handed over the water bag at the right time and said: "Don't be anxious, eat slowly. By the way, what happened to Stromgarde? How did it become like this?" ?”
The woman took the water bag with great gratitude and said while feeding the children: "I don't know what happened in the past two months. The bone guards who maintain order stopped coming out. There was a sudden fire in the city the day before yesterday, and then there was a sudden fire. When a fight started, no one went to put out the fire, so we ran out without food or drink, and couldn't return to the city, so it ended up like this."
What the woman said was too simple. The actual situation may be much more serious than what she said.
When Ji Li fled to Desert Town two months ago, she had said that order had broken down in many places along the way, with robberies, murders, kidnappings, and fights happening one after another. In some places, grain fields and crops had been burned down.
To use a more appropriate term, it is anarchy. The undead creatures that originally maintained order all stopped overnight. Without anyone to drive them, they lay in the cemetery without coming out.
In some places, in addition to undead creatures, there will be another force to maintain order. But in places where there is no 'other' force, the entire system will run inertly for a period of time until it encounters an obstacle and cannot continue to operate, and will quickly collapse. .
Such is the case with Stromgarde.
The obstacle that led to the collapse of Stromgarde was food. A city built on a mountain like this was not a food production area in itself. Like Beifeng City, most of the food had to be transported in from outside.
With the collapse of order, the amount of food shipped from outside has decreased sharply, and the price has doubled. Even if the price is raised, it will still be priceless. .
Silver Coin has said a long time ago that the houses of the deceased are full of messages asking for food.
In this case, food naturally became the most important material. The city management of Stromgarde included a part of the force. Originally, it was to maintain order in the city. It recruited some gangsters and the like. Without restraint, these people would He actually came up with the idea of building a grain depot in the city.
They set fires, robbed, and stormed the grain depot, but were defeated by the guards of the grain depot. These defeated guys then set their sights on the nobles, wealthy businessmen, and others. If they could, they would rush in. If they couldn't, they would change their targets.
The manors and fortresses of the nobles and wealthy merchants were heavily guarded, but few succeeded, so those families with middle incomes suffered.
This woman was hiding a piece of exquisite jewelry. She looked like she was not a commoner, but also a person with certain assets. She was the main target of those people. If she had not run out in advance, she might have lost her life if she stayed at home.
After figuring out what happened, Duroken and Yin Coin looked at each other. In this case, the vegetables would definitely not be sold. What should we do?
Ange didn't care what they did. He was forming a circle with the little angel and the little zombie holding their knees, with the sapling in the middle, and the necklace hanging directly on the sapling.
Yeah - yeah - yeah - the little sapling sent out a message of unknown meaning, stretched out its true leaves, and touched the gemstone of the necklace.
The emerald green in the gem began to flow, flowing into the body of the sapling along the true leaves.
The sapling grew - ah - grew - ah - the sapling waved its leaves and sent out a warm message. Soon, a small bud appeared on the top of its head.
Ange stretched out his hand to poke it, but the sapling immediately covered the bud: No - ah - no - ah -
Not allowed to poke? Ange tilted his head and asked, "What is it?"
Yeah - yeah - yeah - the little sapling didn't know whether it was answering or simply shouting.
Ange nodded as if he understood.
This imaginative exchange made Nigris puzzled: "Do you understand? What does it say?"
Ange picked up the necklace and said, "I want this, lots of it."
At this moment, the emerald green on the gemstone of the necklace has disappeared, leaving only a dim crystal.
"Pfft...did you guess it? Or did it really say that? What it sent out was not a language at all, just a message. I don't believe you can understand it." Nigris said unconvinced.
Even the god of knowledge can't understand the sapling's "Yeah, yeah, yeah", can Ange understand it?
Ange tilted his head: "Guess."
"...Your guess is very reasonable, I guess the same..."
It's rare for a sapling to take the initiative to ask for a gemstone. After absorbing the emerald green inside the gemstone, small buds will grow on its head. Everyone knows how to find more and let it absorb it. Do you need to guess?
But why is it so irritating for Angel to say it so confidently?
When Negris asked the woman about the origin of this gem, the woman responded: "My lord, this is a specialty of the mountains near Stromgarde. It's called the Gem of Life."
"A specialty here? This is troublesome. It's such a mess here." Negris muttered.
At this time, after discussing with Duroken, Silver Coin came over and said, "Sir, we may have to think of a way to occupy Stromgarde."
Duroken said: "Stormstorm is an important stronghold guarding this end of the river valley. If it is ruined, the bridge we built on the other side will be completely meaningless. However, to occupy this place, these disaster victims will need rescue and a large number of people will be needed." food."
"There are more than 10,000 people in Stromgarde, and they consume a lot of food every day. You have to think about it..." Yin Coin said in embarrassment.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Ange arched his back, took out a bag of fairy beans and said, "Take it."
Ten thousand people sounds like a lot, but to eat one meal a day, you only need 10,000 fairy beans. A bag of twenty kilograms contains at least 30,000 fairy beans, which is enough for the whole city to eat for three days.
Yin Coin hesitated and said: "But this will expose the secret of the fairy beans. Such strategic materials will easily be remembered by others if exposed."
When the elves were in the hands of the elves, they were often remembered. If they had not been able to defeat the elves, they would have snatched them all away. Not only would they have robbed them all, but they would also use the elves as slaves and let them grow them.
Ange thought for a while, grabbed the bag containing the elf beans, and kneaded it vigorously. After a while, the beans inside turned into powder.
Ange opened the God's Realm and kept releasing the wind tornado. He smashed the beet leaves in a small area into fine powder, then threw in the elf bean powder and stirred it together. Soon it was mixed into refined bean powder and vegetable powder, and then kneaded them Formed into a group, vegetable dumplings appeared one by one.
"This is a good idea. If you can add some flour, it will be a vegetable pancake." Negris said.
Everyone came together and made the dumplings in full swing, but the fastest one was Du Luoken. He kept tapping with his golden stick, and round dumplings of standard size appeared one after another.
"We have food, how do we distribute it? We don't have that many manpower." Nigris looked at the pile of vegetable dumplings, feeling embarrassed.
"Look at me." Silver Coin said confidently, picked them up into the bag and returned to the mountain road.
He took out a vegetable dumpling, raised it up, and said to the hungry victims: "We are recruiting workers. We are recruiting workers for both adults and children. All meals are included!"
Hurrah, the seemingly weak victims suddenly became energetic and fierce, rushing around.
"One person for each person, one person for each person, don't grab, the strong ones will stand up first and help me maintain order." In this kind of chaotic situation, the most important thing is actually order, and force is the priority to win over.
Therefore, those who were able-bodied said they had one silver coin per person, but they were given two. These people were stunned for a moment, and immediately felt the importance of this differentiated treatment, and their motivation immediately increased.
"Okay, those who are nimble enough to stand up, I'll give you this bag, one for each person. If you get it, drive them to the back. Don't take too many." Leave the distribution tasks to others, and the silver coins can free up the time to take charge. The overall situation can also speed up efficiency.
"From now on, women and children will be given priority, and those who are fighting will be caught and paraded." When order is established, the vulnerable groups can be given priority. When supplies are abundant, giving priority to the weak will make everyone feel at ease.
Yin Coin once again showed his superb organizational skills and arranged the victims clearly in just a few clicks.
The rescue work was carried out in an orderly manner. Several people distributing the food, protected by more than a dozen adult men in strong suits, moved all the way to the other end of the mountain road. Ji Li and Rocks were responsible for transporting the vegetable dumplings.
The victims ate in an orderly manner, and most of them burst into tears of gratitude. Some particularly excited people even knelt down and nodded to the silver coin on the spot to express their gratitude for their survival.
Silver Coin didn't dare to accept such thanks. When someone bowed, he said: "Thank you, Mr. Ange, for giving me food."
In fact, there is no need to talk about silver coins. From the moment someone eats the vegetable dumplings, Ange feels a steady stream of soul flames thrown at him. This is the ability of the God of Planting. As long as someone eats what Ange grows, I will dedicate my strength to him.
These powers are generated in this world, without attenuation projected from the main plane, and can be used to drive the quick-death halo stone.
Other than that, it can only be used to replenish soul energy and form soul crystals, because Ange can't use any magical skills now.
At this moment, Ange suddenly felt something and stepped forward fiercely.
Nigris quickly followed and asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Silver coins are beating people." Ange said.
