The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

After going to the homes of the villagers who had a fever, William went to the huts of the slaves and checked the situation of the slaves who died.

In the past two months, only three wild slaves died, and they still died of work-related injuries.

But now, eight of them died in one night, so William couldn't help but pay attention to it.

When William arrived, the dead wildling slaves had been dragged out and placed in the open space outside.

Most of these savage slaves are thin, or they are older in appearance, with blue faces, purple bodies, and curled up.

Apparently, they all froze to death.

William inspected the savage's shack again, and found that it was shabby, damp and dark. There were only various weeds spread inside for warmth, but the shack was leaking everywhere.

The temperature suddenly dropped last night, and these wild slaves with deviated physiques were frozen to death!

William frowned. These wild slaves were his wealth. Without wealth, how could he not feel distressed!

He called Bartley and Tang En, the managers of the wild people, and asked them, Don't you guys light a bonfire to keep warm at night?

Both Bartley and Dunn were the leaders of the first wild people.

Bartley and Tang En were wronged in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces.

Bartley said, My lord, noble, powerful, and warm as the sun, your lord baron, because of your kindness, we have a bonfire to keep warm at night!

Then why do so many people freeze to death? William was still angry and continued to ask.

Bartley and Tang En smiled wryly, My lord, the flame is warm and does not discriminate, but it cannot warm all of us.

What do you mean? William pursed his lips.

Bartley and Dunn quickly explained to William.

It turned out that what was implemented among the wildling slaves was a bonfire to supply dozens of shacks.

Because for the convenience of management, the shack is a straight line, not a circle around it.

As a result, some huts are close to the bonfire and sleep warm and comfortable at night, while some huts are relatively far away from the bonfire. The first half of the night is fine, but the second half of the night is very cold.

The privileged class of wildling slaves like Bartley and Tang En naturally slept in shacks close to the campfire, but the batch of wildlings who were frozen to death all slept in shacks away from the campfire.

After learning about this situation, William asked dissatisfiedly, Then why don't you light more bonfires? We are close to the Gloomy Forest. Will the Gloomy Forest be stingy with this little fuel?

Bartley and Tang En smiled wryly, not daring to speak.

At this time, Old John coughed a few times, which attracted William's attention. He stood up and said to William, Master Baron, this is my idea.

Oh, I need an explanation, Old John. Seeing that it was Old John, seeing the increased wrinkles on Old John's face, and the silver hair added due to fatigue, William's tone was much gentler.

Lord Baron, the reason is very simple. We don't have enough firewood! Burning bricks and burning lime have already taken up a lot of our firewood, not to mention the large demand for wheelbarrows. Because of the heavy load, our wheelbarrows take up a Time would be wasted, and the rate at which we fell could not meet all our needs.

So, I have to make this decision. Old John said.

William was silent.

Old John said again, Also, Lord Baron, I have to store firewood for the winter. If there is not enough firewood, this winter will be very long and difficult. Maybe we don't have to wait until the lizardmen come...

William's frown deepened.

Yes, old John, it will be getting colder and colder, and maybe it will snow! The winter will be more difficult, so what do you say?

Old John said helplessly and cruelly, So, Lord Baron, sometimes we have to make a choice!

William was very helpless when he heard that.

Unexpectedly, the economic crisis and the food crisis have just been resolved, and now there is an energy crisis!

Do you want people to farm well?

But the problem is, is it too late to travel to find treasures?

The Kalachakra Hourglass has a cooldown.

so what should I do now?

Running away doesn't solve the problem.

William pondered for a while, and then ordered, Old John, take out the firewood you have stored. In short, make sure that the wild slaves will not freeze to death when they sleep!

But, Lord Baron... Old John opened his mouth anxiously and wanted to object.

William raised his hand to stop Old John from continuing to speak, he just said, Just do it! I'll figure out the rest!

At this moment, William missed Freya very much in the village next to the Black Forest in Tataria.

She obeyed him completely and never objected.

But thinking about it, William still knew that this kind of person was indispensable in the life of a lord.

What's more, old John is still doing his best.

For William's order, Old John was resistant in his heart, but thinking of William's various miraculous performances during this period of time, as well as the mysterious appearance of sweet powder, Old John's confidence in William was rekindled in his heart.

Perhaps, Lord Baron can create another miracle!

With this mental awareness, Old John nodded and said, Yes, as you wish, Lord Baron!

William nodded, and after ordering the wild slaves to cremate the corpse, he went back to the earthen house by himself.

The whole Nisai village was once again in the midst of busy work, training, building walls, cutting trees, burning bricks, transporting soil...

There are always too many things to do.

In the earthen house, after closing the door, William took out the magic mirror.

The magic mirror mirror spirit appeared on the mirror surface.

William asked with a serious face, Mirror, how long can your current energy last?

As soon as the words fell, the magic mirror replied to William, Master, master, my current energy can still last for a year, six months, thirteen days and seven hours.

Hearing this, William's eyes twitched, and the corners of his mouth were half-smile, I've fattened you up.

In the past year, William has killed so many robbers in the fairy tale world, all of them are cheap.

After finishing speaking, William stood on the spot and thought for a while, then made up his mind, and said, Magic Mirror, except for the Shadow Swamp, find me the coal that is the easiest to mine and the closest to the small village of Nisai in the territory of Dikas.

So far, William can only do this!

Fortunately, the magic mirror stores enough energy, which should be enough to consume.

Yes, master. The magic mirror said spiritually, a faint light flashed on the mirror.

Ten seconds later, the environment of a place appeared on the mirror of the magic mirror.

It was a wasteland covered with rocks.

Master, master, on the south side of the small village of Nisai, on the road leading to Patras, fifteen kilometers away from here, ten meters underground, there is an open-pit coal mine!

Open-pit coal mines are coal deposits deposited on the surface or shallow layers due to geographical changes, through direct open-pit mining of coal.

Compared with far away from the surface, underground coal can only be used to mine coal by digging tunnels underground. The mining cost is much lower, which is also in line with William's situation.

After all, William wants to mine coal as quickly as possible.

Time waits for no one.

Master, master, my energy can last for eleven months and twenty-three days.

Just checking a coal mine, the magic mirror burned out more than half a year of energy maintenance time at once.

But William didn't blink, and rushed out of the gate without saying a word, shouting, Guards, assemble!
