The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 77 Simulator Cooldown Refresh, Finalize Employment Matters
In the early morning, the bright sun shone on the wide roads around Wilderness Town. A team of nearly 200 people came along the road from the south to Wilderness Town.

Caroline finally agreed to Allen's suggestion and took the wounded to Wilderness Town for further treatment.

However, Caroline asked another companion, the leader of Oak Village, Barron, to go back with the rest of the tribe first.

What she thought was that if something happened, the whole army would not be wiped out. If nothing happened, if there was a relationship with Wilderness Town and Allen, the life of the three villages might be much better in the future, at least borrow some food It's always possible, but if it doesn't work, use labor to pay off the debt.

This winter, life in the three villages is much more severe than in previous years. After all, this season is still more than a month away from the real recovery of all things, and Rovanian's January is far from warm.

Although in Caroline's view, it is indeed dangerous to rush to a strange place, but even for these wounded, for the elderly and children in the village to survive this winter, it is worth a try.

Allen didn't know how much this cautious girl was thinking, and he was also thinking about many things.

In order not to let the trip go in vain, Allen arranged for Desaiwei to take most of the cavalry and archers to continue to accompany Tire to explore the rest of the old dense forest road, at least to come up with a road maintenance plan.

And he himself brought other subordinates, as well as these northerners, back to Wilderness Town to contribute to the plan to open up the old dense forest road.

In addition to this matter, Alan's simulator, which had not moved for a long time, finally gave a new reminder after killing these wolves.

[Accumulate [-] points of soul energy, those less than a whole number will not be counted]

[You have opened a new world, and the new world is being drawn. 】

[Congratulations, welcome to the magic continent of Calradia, the age of darkness invasion. 】

【Congratulations, you have opened the third world and become a senior player. 】

[Please note that veteran players will receive the following permissions. 】

[Get more hints. 】

[Buying regular items is cheaper. 】

[Shorten a certain cooling time. 】

[The initial status is higher, and there are no longer similar statuses such as beggars, serfs, and slaves. 】

[The cooling time of the simulator has been refreshed, whether to start the simulation]

【whether】

【no】

Seeing that his golden finger finally responded, Allen burst into tears for a moment.

If there is a choice in the future, Allen thinks it is better to exchange identities as little as possible. Although summoning a large number of followers in an instant will quickly increase the strength in a short period of time, the cooling time of the simulator is too long.

Wilderness Town has now entered a stable development stage, and the population is not particularly lacking.

After the policy of encouraging births takes effect, ordinary soldiers can be developed and trained in Middle-earth.

Allen thinks that the correct use of the simulator should be to try to simulate several times every few days and work hard to manage several identities.

This will make it easier to get some dinars, reputation and honor.

Prestige can also be used to upgrade existing summoned soldiers to make them stronger, and the soldiers who have been upgraded by prestige will come with equipment.

In terms of honor, Allen also hopes to use honor to draw more Noldor elves from Pendor. Their combat power is extremely powerful, and the top arms are not much worse than the powerful elves in Middle-earth. The most important thing is, don't worry about their lifespan. Exhausted, unable to accompany Alan to the end.

What's more, Allen always felt that he still owed Horimion an emerald rune armor, after all, that armor saved his life.

Only by doing this, Allen felt that he could use the simulator to the maximum efficiency. When he encountered any unexpected situation that could not be solved, he would choose a powerful identity to exchange directly, pull out a large number of powerful soldiers, and surprise the enemy. As for the cooling If you don't cool down, your life is almost gone, so you don't need to think so much.

Usually, try to choose something with a short cooling time to exchange. If the cooling time is too long, the disadvantages are too great.

For example, Alan doesn't have too many dinars left now. If he hadn't stored a large amount of supplies before, the trade with the woodland king might not be able to sustain.

The wine that Allen left before was barely enough to pay off Thranduil's debt, but what about after the repayment?Trade is not done?Allen was still thinking about asking Thranduil to buy another batch of elf bows.

Otherwise, what would the archers trained by Horimion use?With a hunting bow?What's the point of training with that range?It's enough at their current level.

After nearly a year of thinking, Allen decided that he must be cautious when exchanging identities in the future. He must not let the simulator cool down for a few years when his head is hot, that would be too wasteful.

Just when Allen was thinking about this and that because of the opening of the simulator, the team was already approaching Wilderness Town.

The northern humans mixed in the team approached the towering city wall of Wilderness Town, and saw clearly the elite soldiers on the city wall. The soldiers who were only responsible for defending the southern city wall were as many as they brought this time.

Gail didn't think much about it, he and most of his tribe just envied the people here, with such a strong protection.

If they had such walls, they would no longer have to worry about those wolves attacking them.

Instead, it was Caroline's heart that once again refreshed her understanding of Allen.

Usually there are more than 100 people guarding the city wall, so how many soldiers can be pulled out during the war?one thousand?two thousand?You must know that the village of Caroline and the three of them does not have a combined population of 2000, no, it is less than 500 people.

Such a discovery did not make Caroline nervous, but made her feel much more at ease.

A town with such a powerful strength, if it really wants to do something to these villages, doesn't it need to play some ghost tricks? A large army is better than anything else.

And just when Allen led a group of people into the city gate with their own thoughts, the hurried James bumped into him. He was here to find Allen.

It turned out that in the meeting a few days ago, Allen had arranged for James to organize a group of women and train them to be nurses.

Other abilities do not need to be taught. Professional training in delivery skills does not require quickness, but hard work is required. Before graduation, there is an assessment. Those who fail to pass cannot be responsible for the delivery of pregnant women.

If James needs anything during the training process, he can apply to Allen, and Allen fully supports it.

After all, with the existing level of medical care and sanitation, encouraging women to give birth is tantamount to encouraging women to go through the gate of hell more often. Under the stimulation of the policies given by the cabinet, many women may even be willing to go several times. trip.

Allen could foresee that the hospital would be very, very busy in the future. In order to protect the lives of these pregnant women, James was asked to prepare in advance.

And James came to Allen just to apply for a sum of money, and he had already found the personnel yesterday afternoon. After all, the benevolent and kind James has an excellent reputation in Wilderness Town.

This kind of reputation was accumulated bit by bit by the benevolent doctor James. It was nothing more than recruiting dozens of female apprentices. It was a very simple matter.

James himself did not think that things would be so fast and smooth. He thought that it would take a week or more. After he found suitable personnel, he would apply for funds according to his needs, so he did not look for them in advance. Allen received the fee.

Now, James, who has found enough manpower, desperately needs to equip the nurses with some medical equipment and start their own training work. These tools need to be ordered from the blacksmith shop managed by Frey, and some of them need to be provided by Allen.

If Allen was not stationed in the city, James would have gone to trouble the new Hand of the King, Jamila, at this time.

But now he can talk to Allen directly, and James is more willing to talk to Allen about this matter.

So from yesterday, James asked the soldiers he knew well to help him keep an eye on the outside of the city, and once he found Allen back, he would go to the hospital to inform him.

Unexpectedly, Alan came back the next morning, so James ran out in a hurry, holding a note for Alan to sign.

Coincidentally, Allen was also looking for him. Allen, who saw James, quickly signed his name on the note with charcoal, then grabbed James who was about to leave, and asked him to take care of him first. Look at the wounded behind you.

James' reaction was exactly as Allen expected. Amidst the sounds of "disregarding human life", "nonsense" and "who did this", he walked towards the hospital with the wounded and the northern humans who were responsible for taking care of the wounded.

And Allen took Caroline and Gail to his lord's house. He planned to discuss the employment with the two village leaders and have a meal together by the way.

Alice, who learned that Allen was back, quickly arranged a breakfast, a bowl of milky white fish soup, a plate of Hobbit's special snacks, and a piece of fried lamb sausage.

The three of them drove all night, and they were already starving, and they immediately ate the food in front of them.

Allen has always had no image when eating. He eats very quickly and is not elegant at all.

But the other two were even more unbearable, they ate poorly, as if someone was fighting with them.

This breakfast is very large, because Allen usually eats a lot, at least it is the amount of food for two ordinary citizens.

After eating one portion, Allen was full, but unexpectedly, Gail’s appetite was even bigger. After eating one portion, he expressed embarrassingly that he was not full and needed another portion. This is nothing, Alice Another copy was quickly brought out.

Allen, who was sitting in the main seat, noticed that when Gail was asking for a second breakfast, Caroline stepped on the big man under the table.

Gail, on the other hand, continued to eat nonsense indifferently. Allen looked at all this, a little funny, and felt that this simple man was very pleasing to the eye, and wanted to say something, follow me, and eat and sleep.

But Gail is the leader of a village after all, and Alan won't treat him like an ordinary wanderer. We have to wait until we have a chance to talk about this.

At this time, Allen was drinking a cup of hot water, waiting for the end of breakfast.

Soon, Gail ate all the food in front of him, patted his stomach to say he was full, and praised Alice who cleaned the table for her skill.

Alice didn't say much, just ordered, left a pot of hot water and two water glasses, and left the banquet hall.

Afterwards, Allen and the two began to discuss employment matters.

"Two leaders, I invite you to come here. Besides healing the wounded, I have some things I want to cooperate with you two. I wonder if you are interested?"

Caroline grabbed Gail, who was about to speak, and said firstly: "If you have something to say, just say it, you helped Gail and saved the lives of him and his people, which is equivalent to helping everyone in our three villages , we northerners will repay our kindness."

Hearing Caroline's straightforward answer, Allen naturally wouldn't hide it. He also prefers to deal with direct people.

"Okay, it's actually not troublesome, and I don't need you to repay me. I plan to hire people from the three villages to help me open up the Old Jungle Road. It is a long-term project to build a fortress, are you willing to accept it?"

Coincidentally, the village ruled by Gail, Caroline, and Baron is hidden in the Black Forest area to the southwest of the River Run and Old Jungle Road.

The two of them are very familiar with the section of road Allen said and the place where they want to build the fortress.

Caroline didn't think about why Allen did this. She was not willing to think about the idea of ​​such a big man too quickly, as long as it didn't harm her, it was fine.

What she is thinking now is how long the cooperation provided by Allen can last, and whether it can allow the villagers to survive this dangerous winter.

Caroline soon came to the conclusion that if she agreed, she could get through this crisis, and even in the next few years, she didn't need to worry about survival.

After all, the area to the east of the old dense forest road has been completely covered by trees, and the covered road is quite long, at least dozens of kilometers long. In addition to building the fortress, this job can be done for at least a few years.

Caroline is already a little moved, it depends on what price Alan can give.

"My lord, I want to know, how much can we get paid?"

Alan actually doesn't know much about the employment costs in the eastern region of Rovanian. When he was in River Valley City, Bud was responsible for these things. Alan has no time to pay attention to how much an ordinary worker can earn in a day. money.

Moreover, Alan doesn't remember much about Middle-earth prices. He only knows that 80 years later, Frodo and his party bought a pony in Bree for twelve silver dollars, and it was three double the price, that is to say, four silver dollars can buy a decent pony.

That shows that in Middle Earth, the purchasing power of gold and silver is quite strong. Allen, who still has one-tenth of the wealth in Lonely Mountain, is not willing to ask the price first. It is not good if the money is too much or too little. .

So he gave the initiative to Caroline, who seemed straightforward but actually a bit shrewd.

"Please make an offer. If it's suitable, I won't refuse." Allen made a look that I understand and that I am rich.

Caroline thought about it carefully, and then said a price that Alan felt was no big deal.

"Everyone of us involved in the work needs rations for four people every day or enough coins to buy these grains. Dwarven silver coins are fine, and gold coins are better."

Allen thought about it in his heart. For an adult labor force, a day's hard work in exchange for a family of four's full stomach, such wages are not expensive.

Thinking of this, Allen was ready to agree, but after thinking for a while, he added a sentence, "I can agree to the food for four people per day, but this price is for young and middle-aged men. For the elderly over 45 years old, I am only in charge of food and do not give extra remuneration, of course, I will not do particularly heavy work for these old, young, women and children, do you accept this condition?"

It is normal for humans who can live to 45 years old during this period, especially the northerners whose living conditions are extremely difficult, to be called old people.

Caroline didn't think that Allen would really give everyone food for four people. After all, only they would suffer from this kind of word game.

After all, Caroline had also made several deals with other northern chiefs, and had been fooled by this.

In her mind, the worst result would be that Allen only hired young and middle-aged men, and paid less, ignoring those old, young, women and children who couldn't do too much heavy work.

But now, the conditions given by Alan are equivalent to giving everyone in the village a bite to eat, and also treating those weak people kindly.

Such conditions, in Caroline's opinion, are already very good. They rely on hunting, fishing, and planting small pieces of land all year round. In winter, people die because of food problems, especially when they are attacked by wargs. this year.

You must know that those hateful guys are not just plundering people. Caroline and the others have also robbed part of the prey they have stored for the winter. Allen's proposal is simply a timely help for the three villages.

"Okay, I agree." Caroline quickly agreed to Allen's proposal, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.

Allen was also very happy to see that Caroline agreed to his conditions. If Caroline did not agree to his conditions, Allen planned to call Stephen over to discuss.

I believe that greedy and shrewd guy will be able to negotiate a more powerful price for Allen with Caroline.

In fact, Allen thought of his financial advisor just now, but he was already negotiating the price with Caroline at that time.

Halfway through the communication, it was a shameful thing to call a fat man in to continue the communication. Alan, who was about to become king, felt that his face was more important than a little money.

And Caroline couldn't wait any longer, she wanted to start this job right away.

She couldn't wait to ask: "My lord, when can we start this job?"

If she starts earlier, she can get the corresponding remuneration earlier, and even advance part of the remuneration in advance. She decided to ask Gail to talk to Allen about this matter.

She had already seen that the lord of this wilderness town seemed to appreciate Gail and wanted to recruit him.

Caroline thought it would be easy for Gail to talk about the advance payment. Anyway, both of them are men, and Caroline felt that Gail couldn't suffer much.

"Don't worry, just wait until Tyr comes back. It should take a week. You can stay or leave these days, but it's better to leave some people to take care of the wounded. Don't worry, for the sake of For our cooperation, I will take care of the board and lodging."

It's just food for a few days for a hundred or so people.

Moreover, according to Allen's order to the cabinet, Jamila, with the cooperation of Stephen, has started to use real money to buy the surplus food stored in the people's homes. The price is higher than the market price in the eastern part of Rovanian. slightly higher.

After all, Allen still expects these citizens to hold the real money in their hands and attract more merchants in the days to come. Only relying on the grocery store in Wilderness Town, they will soon run Allen to Dina to the point of bankruptcy.

At this moment, Caroline stood up from her seat, walked towards Allen, and at the same time stretched out her slender, powerful right hand. The palm that held weapons all year round was full of calluses.

Allen looked sideways at the action of this beautiful girl, froze for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

He stood up, also stretched out his right hand, and touched Caroline's right palm heavily, completing the high-five ceremony.

And at this moment, Caroline's tense face instantly relaxed.
