The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students
Chapter 659 The Mansion of Sorrow
Belina Steme cooperated with the Gond followers and launched a large-scale industrial construction in the city. They solicit investment from the Zonggui Council to make the cake bigger so that everyone can have a bite.
Gotash held his nose and cooperated with them. He controlled the media channel "Baldur's Mouth", so the news of the new factory's recruitment made headlines for several days in a row, and was spread throughout the streets and alleys, inside and outside the city walls, by seven or eight-year-old newsboys. .
"We're recruiting, we're recruiting! There are no restrictions on age, origin, or race. United Industries, a company invested by Duke Stemey, is recruiting workers. Come and take a look if you pass by. A brand new copy of "Baldur's Mouth" is just for you. It takes two copper coins."
A large number of refugees were attracted by the expanding new industries and joined the so-called United Industrial Corporation in order to have food and clothing.
Gond believers are responsible for reproducing the technological prototypes in the library tower. After localization improvements, these relatively mature industrial designs can be quickly put into production.
Although the army of the Supreme God has blocked the upper reaches of the Chongsa River, cargo ships can still sell goods to various parts of the Sword Coast through the great Gray Port. They can reach Waterdeep and Neverwinter to the north, and Askatra to the south. and Longshou Peninsula.
As for industrial raw materials, they can also be imported from outside.
As long as the main artery of Gray Harbor is not breached, Baldur's Gate will never be reduced to the status of a sleepy city.
The newly built building materials factories, sawmills, shipyards, smelters, and arsenals provide jobs for refugees with qualified physical conditions and qualifications. They also arrange simple food and accommodation so that their families can live in relatively stable model houses.
Having a roof covered with tiles will greatly change their lives. At least they don't have to worry about the cold autumn wind freezing people to death on cold nights.
Because the caster was involved in the construction, changes happened quickly.
A wizard who masters the magic of turning fossils into mud and turning mud into stone is simply an innate ashes holy body with earth and wood spiritual roots. He can easily build a factory covering hundreds of square meters.
Among the refugees, the Tower King's magical contract is also spreading rapidly. After a period of study, basically anyone with normal intelligence can learn simple tricks.
For example, spells such as Mage's Hand can bring great convenience to industrial production.
Belina's self-built Candlebringer Church also took advantage of the convenience of recruiting workers and spread widely among the workers.
There is a very simple incentive method, which is to increase the wages of workers who know how to do tricks. In this way, the refugees' enthusiasm for learning will increase.
Spell knowledge has always been very precious, so the tower magic contract plays a prominent role at this time. A large number of workers who asked for a salary increase began to hug the magic contract parchment, and within a few days, they began to offer candles to each other again.
The Candlebearers functioned almost as an early labor union. Refugees established an identity through this organization and initially became united.
Spellcasting workers began to appear, further speeding up the industrial construction of Baldur's Gate.
However, in just one week, the number of refugee tents that can be seen everywhere in Livington District has dropped by 70%. They used to be piled up like enoki mushrooms, but now they are just a few sparse ones.
The remaining refugees did not choose to work in factories, or they disdained low-level labor due to their origin and race.
Either they are physically unqualified, such as the elderly, weak, sick or disabled.
Another part has a criminal record - the Iron Guard is a loyal monitor, and Big Brother Constantine can see everything through the Iron Guard's sensors.
The situation is improving day by day, but the sharp decline in refugees has made some people with bad intentions feel seriously threatened.
Such as Shar followers.
Immigrants who have lost their homes, relatives and friends should have been the most fertile soil for the Shar Order. They spread the holy words of the Nightsingers, allowing pain to sprout in the hearts of the refugees, and then they saw the harshness of the world and rebelled against society.
Before the adventure team arrived at Baldur's Gate, the Mansion of Sorrow in the lower city was full of guests.
On the surface, the Mansion of Sadness is a club that provides psychological diagnosis and treatment, specializing in relieving people who are in deep pain. It is said that the customers who walk out of the Mansion of Sadness are in high spirits, as if they are suffering from mental illness.
In fact, this is the Abbey of Shar, where Shadowheart grew up.
Shar's priesthood includes oblivion.
Fatty Cong in "Kung Fu" once said: Memory is the source of pain.
Therefore, the psychological treatment of Shar believers is to take away the painful memories, so that the patient can forget his troubles and regain happiness. It's just that sometimes I take more, but the patient won't notice it, and if the patient's family members want to make trouble with the doctor, they can't defeat the heavily armed cultists.
Such an evil psychological clinic has been open in Baldur's Gate for decades, mainly due to its founder, the female director Viconia.
"Princemistress, something bad has happened." A believer disguised as a refugee hurried back to the Mansion of Sorrow, "The customers we contacted a few days ago entered the factory today. They also want to convert to the Tower King. "
Viconia is a drow who wears hooded purple robes and is as silent as her god.
"Light always tries its best to pretend to be a savior, but it is its norms that create a prison of suffering. This should be destroyed."
"What should we do?"
"Look for the enemy's stains, amplify them, and make the people lose trust."
"But they don't seem to have any stains. The conditions in the factory are quite good, including food and accommodation. Belina Steme is also regarded as the most people-friendly Duke."
"If you can't find the enemy's fault, then try your best to cater to it." Viconia's plump lips leaked out of the hood and smiled kindly. "Sneak into them and carry out Belina's orders until they are too much."
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
"Headmistress, Shadow Heart is back."
"That traitor, the night will take away everything she has and bury her. Where is she now?"
"Be with the adventurers."
…
The adventure team is helping out with errands these days. There are many people in need of help in this city, and the ones who need help most right now are not refugees, but bankers.
The Clearing House is a financial institution located in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate, which is equivalent to a bank. The city's financial situation has never been optimistic. Belina needs financing, but the bank can't come up with the money.
The huge treasury was robbed by a group of thugs calling themselves the Stone Lords, and the banker refused to disclose the details.
If Belina hadn't urged her so urgently, the news that the bank had no money would have been concealed forever - they were the best at making false accounts, and methods such as eating and drinking were no longer new.
Linde knew who the so-called Stone Lord was. That guy was Jaheira's teammate back then, Minsk the Barbarian, a fool with infinite strength and the humanoid mecha of Bubu, the mini-giant space hamster.
Minsk himself has a very sense of justice, but after being planted with mind flayer tadpoles, he was completely controlled by the mastermind. If you want to rescue him, you must first find him in the intricate sewers of Baldur's Gate.
If you want to understand a person, the best way is to ask his enemies for advice. The Stone Lords are a suddenly expanding underground force, and the one who conflicts with them is the famous "Guild".
The adventure team was now face to face with the leader of the guild, "Nine Fingers" Keen.
