Chapter 2 Counting is Counting
The news brought by the Philippines this time is an excellent medicine that may solve the next medium- and long-term problem - as we all know, when the civil war began and refugees began to appear in various parts of the empire, it was already October 1204 in the Qiyao calendar. Although the southern state of Krutchen has a relatively pleasant climate, it is inevitable that it will be a little cold when winter is approaching. For those with fighting strength, this cold is naturally nothing, even ordinary people who are relatively healthy will not take this little thing seriously, but for those refugees who have been affected by the war and are generally weaker, and even the sick among them, such weather is still a big threat. Therefore, in order to prevent such a thing from happening, Helliga had arranged for Macchias and Elliot to go and help out to see if there was any solution to the problem in the surrounding area.
Not to mention, this solution really made them find it. Although not as knowledgeable as Emma, Marchias is also the second most academic student in the entire Tolz first-year students, and although he is mainly good at political science and law-related subjects, he also has a good knowledge reserve in natural subjects. He and Elliot soon discovered a special kind of wood in the forest south of the town, which was looser in structure, burned faster, and could be burned into charcoal relatively easily. There are still a lot of such timber in the southern forests, and according to Macchias's judgment, the growth cycle of this wood is relatively short, and if it is not cut down in large quantities in a short period of time, it will not have much impact on the surrounding environment and ecology.
With Marchias' assurance, Heliga immediately ordered the able-bodied of the refugees to open a makeshift lumber yard in preparation for the possible winter. In the winter of Daxis, the temperature is generally around freezing, which is fine for ordinary people, but for patients, a warmer environment is obviously more conducive to recovery, so as not to hinder other people and cause trouble. Lévi led a group of hunters brought by Martha to sweep around the lumberyard with amazing efficiency, as well as all the demonic beasts on the way to and from the lumberyard, and the corpses of dozens of demonic beasts close to the quasi-lord level were decapitated by the sharp and abnormal long sword in Levi's hand, and hung on the fence around the lumberyard, which was enough to have a huge deterrent effect on other demonic beasts. Tolevi's blessing, almost all the demonic beasts in the surrounding area have disappeared.
However, in the process of trying to use it later, Hailiga and others found new problems. Because this kind of wood is very easy to burn, the rapid burning speed makes the wood itself easy to produce a large amount of smoke and toxic gases when burning. It is fine to use during the day, because the shelter is designed with relatively simple ventilation equipment, which can ensure the temperature and disperse these toxic gases as soon as possible, but at night, when the whole house is closed, the negative impact of such charcoal is even greater. Therefore, they also urgently need a solution that can solve such problems at night.
At the critical moment, it was Tovar who brought good news - he found an ape-like beast in the forest, which began to prepare for hibernation and forage for food when winter approached, and always posed a security threat to the surrounding villages and towns. In the process, Tovar discovered that the fur of these monsters had incredible warmth ability, so these monsters were able to survive the entire long winter with just this thin layer of protection - what Tovar meant was that since this kind of monster almost every year had to go on a collective rampage when winter was approaching, and every time it needed to be dealt with by the Guerrilla Association, why didn't he take this opportunity to collect this kind of fur with excellent warmth directly from a large number of ape sheep monsters in the vicinity?
If Macchias learns dead knowledge from books, and can only be found according to the description of books, then Tovar realizes the true knowledge in practice and truly applies what he has learned - this also makes Macchias admire.
At present, before this matter is put on the agenda, the arrival of winter has also made the current resource reserves of the shelter a little stretched. Previously, the refugees who were able to work were divided into three teams, one to gather food in the forest and in the lake, and the other to collect available resources, which were summarized and managed under the leadership of Hailiga and others. The last team went to work at the lumber yard they found in Macchias, leaving only a few people to take care of the sick and infirm who were unable to work. Since the work was limited to Helika's own portion of the estate, and the budget of the territory itself was not used, the people of Daxis themselves were relatively unaffected. But it is precisely because of this that Hailiga has to be careful about these things, so as not to have some kind of resource shortage. According to him, "If I were the Duke of El Bardia, I would have the money to take in refugees from almost the entire empire." ”
"This refuge ...... Could it be to cover the imperial princess hiding here? This was the first time Levi saw the vault and asked Helriga a question. He didn't understand, because Heliga could just ignore the refugees, keep them out, and at most give them some food and water. This is also the way most local nobles treat these refugees. Hailiga's approach inevitably made Levi wonder, is it for this purpose that His Royal Highness can use these to cover up?
"If you want to do that, you can just learn from ordinary nobles. Now, it's easy to attract attention. Heiliga sighed, "Actually, this is also for the sake of long-term interests. ”
"Long-term benefits?" Lévy didn't understand at first, but then he did.
"yes. Olibart probably just thought I was fulfilling the duties of a nobleman? But that's not all. Judging by your expression, it should be clear. ”
“…… Oh, yes. Lévy nodded, silent.
Krutchen – the only aristocrat who reached out to refugees in the surrounding area during the war.
What will happen after the civil war is over? If the aristocratic faction wins, it will probably only pass tepidly. But what if the reformers win and the emperor is saved?
Levi already vaguely understood something.
