"What happens if you get bitten by a beast?" asked Roland, "will you become like them?"

I hope it's not an otherworldly version of Resident Evil, he thought, the current level of technology can't extract virus antigens.

"Of course not," Iron Axe said with a "how could you ask such a question?" expression, "if you are bitten, you will only turn into a corpse." ”

"And what about their meat, can you eat it?"

Carter exclaimed, "Your Highness, how can you eat such evil things, they are all polluted by the breath of hell!"

Roland looked at the Iron Axe, who nodded, "Your knight is right, I once cut off the flesh of an evil beast and fed it to the hounds, but the hounds died soon after eating the meat. ”

"Really, what a pity," Roland sighed, food was scarce in this era, and if the beasts could eat it, winter would be a good month. Think about it, the animals of the whole forest are running like crazy to the border towns, and even the hunting tools are saved.

After inspecting the walls, he decided to pay a visit to Nanawa.

Today, a noble house closest to the city walls has been requisitioned by Roland for use as a field hospital, which, of course, is claimed to be a medical hospital. Just in case, this is the most heavily guarded part of the town outside of the city walls.

The owner of the house here took all the possessions he could take with him when he returned to the fortress, and the border town itself was a place that could be abandoned at any time, so although the house was large, there were no decorations such as murals, carpets, and porcelain. If it weren't cleaned, it would be like an ownerless place that had been vacant for a long time.

Roland pierced all the wooden partition walls on the first floor, and connected all the rooms except the corridor and the foyer, and put ten beds on them, and a simple hospital was formed. There were no nurses, no doctors, and it was unlikely that even all ten beds would be used - Nanawa's treatment did not require bed recuperation, but was immediate.

During the day, she was on the second floor of the hospital, and Anna would come to accompany her when she was fine. Tigou Pine and Brian were stationed on the first floor, and there were two guards guarding the door.

But what Roland didn't expect was that the first wounded person to be received by the field hospital was not from the militia defending the city walls, but from the workers of the mines on the northern slope.

Nails felt their hands tremble.

Hearing the hoarse screams of the iron head behind him, he quickened his pace again, wishing he could fly.

It was all because of his own negligence, he thought, damn it, how could he have forgotten the knight's advice at that time.

I knew I shouldn't have taken on the job of operating the big guy!

Since the installation of this big black creature at the entrance of the mine, the work of the miners has been much easier.

Originally, the most tiring work was to carry the excavated ore out of the mine, and when the basket was full of stones, it took three to four people to drag it. Generally, two people push in the back, and the rest pull in the front. The uneven tunnel floor has been ground flat by the basket after years of mining, and the iron sheet pad at the bottom of the basket also needs to be replaced frequently.

A week ago, the Chief Knight commanded Iron Head and his men to carry a large pile of strangely shaped metal parts up the mountain, tossing and turning for several days to assemble a stove. Nail never expected that this stove would be able to move on its own after lighting a fire, not only moving, but also infinitely powerful.

The knight said that it was an invention of His Royal Highness the Prince, and it seemed to be called a steam engine.

As long as the twine is tied to the basket and the fire is lit, the big creature will whine, turn the winch, and drag the basket out of the hole quickly.

It's incredible!

After a few demonstrations, the knight asked the iron head to choose a man to be in charge of the operation of the steam engine. When the nail was chosen, I was happy for a long time. Think about it, as long as he stays in front of this machine, he will never have to go down to the mine to dig stones or push baskets again. The last accidental collapse scared him a lot.

So the nails that the knight told me were firmly in my heart.

It's not that hard to say, when you need the big guy to work, just lift this lever painted green and press the red lever tightly. The knight said that the green rod is linked to the intake valve, and the red rod is linked to the exhaust valve, so that the steam will enter the cylinder through the pipe. When the basket is pulled up, the machine is reversed to stop it, lifting the red rod and pressing the green lever, and the steam is discharged from the tube on the side of the boiler. At each cycle, the furnace was filled with water - although I didn't understand what the valves and cylinders meant, the nails were all taken down.

However, the knight emphasized that there are two important things to pay attention to, one is that the order must not be wrong, it must be green and then red when it is started, and red and then green when it is turned off, if it is wrong, it may lead to the destruction of the machine. The second is to clear the surrounding miners first when exhausting, and keep shouting reminders until the red rod is fully lifted.

The first point is that the rolling melon on the back of the nail is ripe, and you can't make a mistake with your eyes closed, but the bad is bad on the second point.

When the machine was turned off as usual today, there was no one around. He felt that a person shouting a warning looked a bit like a fool, so he turned his head and pulled the red lever. The lever was a little tight, and it took him a long time to pull it through gritted teeth.

Unexpectedly, the moment he pulled it up, the iron head appeared in front of the furnace - the nail swore that he didn't see where the mine head came from, and the loud roar of the machine also drowned out his footsteps. White steam screamed out of the exhaust port and rushed straight into the iron head's face!

The nail was stunned on the spot, and he saw the iron head fall to the ground, rolling around with his face covered, and let out a terrible scream from his mouth—the sound made him feel creepy.

Soon the other miners surrounded him, holding down the tumbling iron head and forcibly uncovering his hands. I saw that the other party's face was already a blur, blood seeped out of the ripe rotten flesh, and his eyes turned into white beads. Everyone present realized that the iron head was hopeless.

Tears came out of his eyes, and the iron head has always taken good care of him, seeing that he is young, the work assigned to him is always less than that of others, but the salary has never been less. Now it was his negligence that led to the accident.

In the midst of grief and anxiety, Nail suddenly remembered what the knight had said, if someone in the mining area was accidentally injured, he could take the injured person to the vicinity of the city wall, where there was a newly opened medical hospital.

Although he knew in his heart that such a serious injury could not be cured, the wound area was too large, and the herbs would not work, but would only keep rotting, and then the whole body would have a high fever, and he would soon fall into a coma. But he still carried his iron head, regardless of the surprise of the people around him, gritted his teeth and ran towards the foot of the mountain.

If he doesn't do anything, he just watches the iron head die, and he is afraid that he will not be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
