The cold wind brought rain, and the sky looked like a wet rag that could not be wrung dry.
Plague is still popular, but the rate of spread has slowly slowed down and is no longer out of control.
In the fifth year of Season of Sinking Fog, the materials originally planned to be used to survive Season of Sinking Fog were rapidly consumed under the large-scale ravages of Plague, and it was time to restore and rebuild. Otherwise, the lack of materials would bring about a series of reactions, leading to the collapse of the entire social order.
Steelworks must be restarted so that there will be a continuous supply of materials to various workshops for manufacturing machinery and various handicrafts, and to support various upstream and downstream industries.
With these produced goods, Mage Alliance can trade precious food resources from the Woodland Alliance in the south through trade contracts, so that a large number of residents will not starve to death and maintain order and stability.
If Steelworks starts construction, the supporting ores, wood fuels, and main train lines for transporting these materials, etc., will all be put into operation.
However, the current Mage Alliance is no longer the extremely powerful state it was five or six years ago. Under the Impact epidemic, many originally skilled personnel died, and the abandonment of factories and areas also caused a large number of former personnel to be lost and difficult to retrieve.
[Northern Delin District is urgently recruiting workers, those with good physical fitness will be given priority, and the salary will be 3 gold coins per year]
[Xuelan Region's forest farm recruits lumberjacks, and the salary is 4 gold coins per year]
[Moyas Mine is in urgent need of skilled miners, the salary is 5 gold coins per person per year, and if you sign the contract, you will get 1 gold coin as settlement fee]
Similar announcements were posted in city squares, and every day people came to set up tables, prepare contracts, answer questions from inquirers, and some signed contracts on the spot, and then boarded the train that night.
Most recruitment announcements come from the northern region. Due to the arrival of Season of Sinking Fog, the cold and humid climate caused many people to flee. The subsequent spread of the epidemic has aggravated the situation, making many original raw material production areas now sparsely staffed and difficult to start construction.
Nowadays, recruitment notices are plastered all over the cities in the central and southern parts of the Alliance. People are being recruited, and most of them are offering remuneration several times higher than before.
"Are you really going?" A middle-aged man had just walked out of the door when his wife's voice came from behind him.
He couldn't help but stop and look back, with a bit of helplessness and sadness in his expression.
"Yes, we can't go on like this forever. Lina is still growing. You just recovered from the illness and are still very weak. If you can make more money, you can buy some good food."
"But, I heard that the Plague in the north has not dissipated yet, and the environment is still very bad——" The wife's voice was full of worry.
"It's okay. Since the official announcement has been made, there will definitely be a solution." The man comforted the other person.
"If we don't go now, we will soon be full of people, and I'm afraid we won't have this opportunity in the future." Normally, he would earn at most one gold coin a year, but now if he can be chosen, he can directly earn several times the money.
Hearing this, the wife also lowered her head. The man looked at his thin lover, walked over and gently hugged her, patting her on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." He said slowly to comfort the other person, but soon he heard slight sobbing, and then his front shirt was slightly wet with tears.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu——I know, in fact, it's me who has dragged you down. I have been in poor health since I was a child. Even after I got married, I couldn't do many things well. You have to fill in the gaps every time."
"Hey, why are you talking about this again?" He hugged the other person tightly.
"Didn't we agree to get together when we were very young? I still remember when we were ten years old, we ran together to see a performance troupe from the East. At that time, we climbed over the fence in a relay. You also pulled me and stepped on the loose wooden frame to carefully pass through the guards, and then we hid under the canvas to watch the performance."
"I remember very clearly, the smell of your hair at that time, and the heartbeats of the two of us leaning against each other." He said slowly, with a soft voice.
Hearing this, the figure in his arms stopped crying, and just raised his watery eyes with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
"It was all so young. Why do you still remember it? Besides, I was not a lady at all at that time." She bit her lip lightly.
"Haha, so you care about this?" The man laughed heartily, and the original sad mood was diluted a lot.
"Okay, rest assured and recuperate at home, and then take good care of Lina and wait for me to come back." After saying that, the man waved his hand again, turned and walked towards the gloomy street to say goodbye to his family.
In the following months, encouraged by the high income, recruitment of personnel in various regions was carried out rapidly, and then those who signed the contract boarded the train and rushed to the cities on the cold ice sheets to rekindle the extinguished fires there.
The big bell rang, one after another, spreading in the city shrouded in white fog. Even if the tall clock tower of the past could not be seen, the current moment was still accurately conveyed to the ears of every resident.
The cooled steam furnace was ignited and started again, making a roaring sound.
The descendants of the saints in white robes unite under the new dawn to save lives.
Children of Golden Honeys raised the flag again to show the glory of Golden Tree and bees.
Figures under the moon wandered in the forest. They harvested Magic Creature's internal organs and blood to refine the ancient magic potion.
The tribe with long ears descended in the dark night to inspect this corrupt land.
Silver Radiance Church Headquarters, a strange figure suddenly visited.
"Saintess Your Highness, there is a guest who wants to see you."
After the day's ceremony, Sylutia was just about to take a rest when he heard this report.
Lovier, who was waiting on the side, stood up and asked, "Who is this guest? Why did he come here at this time?" The blond lady stood in front of Sylutia like a big white goose guarding its calf.
It's almost dark now and it's already six o'clock in the afternoon. Indeed, few people would choose to visit at this time.
Reporter Priest had to explain, "That guest is quite special. She wears a hooded cloak, but her special pair of ears can be clearly seen."
"Special ears? Could it be----"
Many Orc have ears that are different from those of humans, but few people specifically point this out, and this statement is more often used for a particular race.
Yes, they are the aliens among Orc, the Moon Rabbit Clan favored by Radiant Moon and "Hour".
There are very few Moon Rabbit Clan" settlements in the Mortal Continent. Most of them were born in Heavenly Courtyard Moon Rabbit Homeland". When they reach adulthood, they will be qualified to enter Mortal Continent to experience life, and then go on a decades-long travel and adventure, and then return to Moon Rabbit Homeland", where they will get married and have children, and then spend their remaining years in peace.
Compared to the Orc group, which has different shapes and mixed bloodlines, Moon Rabbit "can be said to be an alien among Orc, with a distinguished status, few members, and the protection of Phantom Black Rabbit", so no major power organization dares to harm them openly.
"If it's Moon Rabbit Clan, I probably still need to meet him." Sylutia thought about it and said this.
"Moon Rabbit? What do they look like? Do they have rabbit heads? Do they have cute plush tails?" Lovier also became curious now, not showing any sign of stopping the meeting just now.
"Moon Rabbit is probably similar to humans, but they have slender ears similar to rabbits. I don't know about their tails. They have very good physical fitness. They are born with the ability of Agile Body" from their blood. As adults, they can directly learn skills such as "Phantom Steps" and "Silver Eyes of Evil-Breaking"."
Moon Rabbit Clan's adult bodies are basically at level three or above. This is their strength as Hour's dependents, which makes many Orc envious.
Taking Lovier, Sylutia and Priest who reported, they came to a side hall and saw a rare guest standing in the afterglow of the sunset.
The opponent was wearing a dark cloak, and under the cloak was a capable swordsman's uniform, showing off his tall figure. His pair of slender thighs stood side by side, ready to move quickly at any time, turning into an elusive phantom.
When Sylutia stepped forward, the other party pulled down the hood on his head, revealing Moon Rabbit's iconic black ears, which were smart and upright, swaying gently in the air, and then a special aura and a sense of intimidation came.
[Sixth Order·Radiant Moon·Beast Fang]
It's actually Sixth Order. Is it possible that Moon Rabbit Clan is so powerful? Sylutia has many doubts and curiosity in his heart.
"Hello, young Saintess, my name is Aseminah, from Moon Rabbit Homeland"
When he said this, Moon Rabbit's eyes were filled with sparkling silver light, as if he could see through all disguises as he looked at the arriving Sylutia.
