The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

Mason City, an important city in the southern part of the Kingdom of Biberach, is the most important ceramic production site in Northlands, where Charles and Modred played themselves here.

There are many workers engaged in ceramic production here, and the grain is mainly imported from other places.

Through the blue crystal incident of that year, he got rid of the local noble and became the Third Prince of the City Lord of Mason City. During this time, the food issue was a headache. Since the drought, the shortage of food has been high. The unrelenting food prices make the workers miserable. If the city has citizen satisfaction, the city is already on the verge of red face.

Budd once pulled down for food and wrote back to Royal Capital to ask for help from the second sister Rose Princess, who is in fact in power, but he finally got a large stack of Megadon Family food delivery coupons. .

At that time, Bud's heart collapsed, and the subsequent series of twists and turns made him even more collapsed. It's not that Budxin has known Charles for many years. It's just that after the news of the destruction of the granary and the elves buying food in the south from the Spirit Tree Sea, he, like other Northlands nobles, thinks that Charles can't get food anymore.

Unlike the nobles of the big landlords, those nobles can be exchanged for investment with delivery coupons, anyway, they have food in their warehouses, at least they will not die of starvation. But Bud’s site was filled with a large group of workers waiting for grain. There was no real grain, and the delivery coupon was of no use to him.

Since February, there is less and less food in the warehouses in Mason City. At this time, it is no longer possible to buy bulk food on the market.

Fortunately, some caravans bring in some "white jade meat" from time to time, which slightly alleviates the dissatisfaction of the citizens.

One day in mid-February, John Bishop of the Harvest Temple Church south of Mason City came to Bud and told him that Megadon Family food began to arrive at the church, and he would be able to pick up the goods only on February 22. .

Bad, who was extremely surprised, immediately sent someone to follow John Bishop to the church to find out. Later, the person who inquired about the news came back and reported that there was a fleet full of food parked on the river next to the church, and the workers were putting a bag of food. Bags of grain are unloaded from the ship.

February 22, 1922 in the divine calendar, this day was not the day Charles chose to pick up the food coupons for some bad taste.

The habit in this world is that the last day of the first ten days of each month is regarded as a day of rest, which can also be regarded as the "Sunday" of various temples. Even the slave can theoretically rest on this day.

Charles at first regards this day in late February as the day to start redemption of food delivery coupons, taking into account that people who are not far away will spend a day on the 21st after going to church on the 20th. Time to rush to the pick-up point to exchange the grain, and get the grain immediately.

On this day, the Harvest Temple churches around the major cities of Northlands, which are the pick-up points, have been prepared. The churches and newly built warehouses are filled with fresh food.

These grain bags are different from the previous sack bags. Both sides of this bag are sintered with a piece of slime tape. One side is the golden sickle logo of the Harvest Temple, and the other side is the red maple leaf coat of arms of the Megadon Family.

Because exchanging food in the entire Northlands is a very complicated task, Charles and the others outsourced this work to the Harvest Temple.

Although the Harvest Temple has declined, the basic organization and online shop are still relatively complete, and there will be no trouble in transportation. Moreover, their priesthood and grain counterparts, and entrusting them with the matter of grain exchange is considered to be professional work by professionals.

In the early morning of the 22nd, Bud and several Knights rode to the church south of Mason City.

The weather in the early morning of this day was extremely cold. The temperature, which was originally a little warmer, fell again not long ago under the influence of the cold air from the north. Hoar frost hung on the branches of the roadside.

The tree trunks on both sides of the road are bare. Not long ago, a large number of fleeing victims passed by. Mason City was nervous for a while.

Fortunately, John Bishop of the Harvest Temple came to take the victims away, but the bark of the trees along the way and the roots of the grass on the ground were all eaten up, even the slime who hibernated underground in the winter. Never escaped.

The nostrils of the Mercedes-Benz war horse sprayed white air, and Bud on the horse's back was still very anxious.

He doesn't know how much grain Charles can get here. If the grain is only an utterly inadequate measure, he will have to plan another way.

As it approached noon, Bud and his party finally arrived at the church of the Harvest Temple.

A simple camp was built outside the church, where a large number of victims temporarily lived.

Bad saw a piece of smoke rising in the camp from a distance, and several priests from different temples were distributing rice porridge to the victims.

Two or three hundred meters away from the camp, Bud could hear the loud voice of the dwarf priest who forged the temple.

"The newcomers line up well, otherwise they will be driven out instead of eating!"

"Whoever dares to make trouble, hang up after a fight!"

p>

As the dwarf priest said, he pointed a long spoon at the other side of the camp where there were a few tall wooden poles on which people who died and died were hanging.

Among the victims of the disaster, there were some people with unhealthy minds. Some of them were suppressed by the priests after they came to the camp to do something.

Budd came to the camp and found that the people hanging on a wooden pole were still fresh, shiver coldly in the cold wind.

After the greeting, he asked John Bishop who came to greet him: "Why, someone is making trouble here again?"

Bad couldn’t help but worry after seeing the scale of the camp. Maliciously provoke the victims to make trouble, maybe it will lead to trouble to Mason City. Although the impossible city was breached, it would be enough for him to have a headache if the ceramic workshops and clay yards outside the city were damaged.

John Bishop glanced at the person hanging on the wooden pole, and said: "I don’t know where the idiot came out, and he sprinkled soil in the freshly cooked porridge, and said that there is only real Those who are hungry will come to eat, and those who come to eat and drink will be eliminated."

"[Agricultural foul language], is he a fool when he is a faithful believer of our gods? This is for our gods. Blasphemy!"

Bad and Knight behind him looked at the guy hung on the wooden pole with contempt. There were a lot of bacteria and viruses in the soil, and the pot of dirty porridge was Re-cook for at least an hour before eating.

This is also the fact that the priests have compassion in their hearts. If they were to deal with this matter, they would have chopped off those who kicked the court on the spot.

Then Bud asked John Bishop to take him to the warehouse. He didn't feel relieved until he saw the grain.

At this time, the great hall of the church and most of the guest rooms at the back were cleared out and used as temporary warehouses. The young and middle-aged among the victims were organized to build warehouses behind the church.

In a warehouse that has been repaired, people pushing carts are transporting carts of grain to the warehouse.

Seeing the full grain in the warehouse, Bud let go of his hanging heart.

He asked curiously: "Does these food come from the Spirit Tree Sea?"

John Bishop said: "These food is shipped from the south by the temple."

Bad opened a few bags of grain and took a look. It was all white rice, not moldy, and it was not old grain for many years. It was a southern agricultural product.

The next thing is simple. Bud gave John Bishop all the grain delivery coupons for February and asked him to tell Fleet to ship the grain directly to the port in Mason City for unloading.

John Bishop said that this was just a matter of adding a little freight, and Bud agreed without even thinking about it. Compared to the stability of Mason City, that point of freight is really sprinkling.

In the morning of second day, almost everyone in Mason City drove to the port area.

The news that City Lord Bard found a large amount of food has spread throughout the city last night, and many people even braved the cold wind and waited outside the port at midnight to see if they could be there. Buy food the second day.

Bad was also prepared for this. He ordered the grain to be sold directly outside the port area after unloading, and each person could only buy one bag.

In order to prevent people from buying more food, people who bought food must dip their right hand index finger into the blue dye as a mark.

Then the one-armed old mage who washes the dishes in the back kitchen and the city defense army soldier who sells food in the adventurer's union tavern in the city are big eyes staring at small eyes, and the sleeves of the old mage's right hand are empty... …

This episode did not cause waves in Mason City. Although the price of food is not low, Lord Bud promised that there will be food in the future, but the shallow water of the river will not come so quickly, so it’s okay to save a little. Survived.

In any case, the dissatisfaction caused by the lack of food in Mason City finally calmed down.

Budd, sighed in relief, sits in his office and concentrates on studying a policy on foreign trade tariffs issued by his second sister in the name of his Royal Father a few days ago.

At the same time, a question that Northlands noble had been thinking arose in Bud's mind-where did Charles get so much food?
