Full-time insurance agent

Chapter 73 The Tower Building Incident

The construction period is short and the task is heavy. Green Walker, who is installing a huge steam engine in the alchemy tower at the Beishan construction site, is suffering and happy.

The North Mountain is much better than the South Mountain. The wind in the York Basin is from the north all year round. When working in the northern part of the York Basin in the summer, you don’t have to stare at an airtight mask on your mouth.

As a member of the York City Alchemy Society, he is neither the kind of academic who works in research and experiments in the society, nor is he a second-rate dealer who resells alchemical results.

As a freedom knight, he changed jobs to engage in alchemy. In his youth, Green Walker made great sacrifices for Dreamland.

It wasn't until he obtained the alchemist's junior professional badge that Sir Green Walker turned his interest to steam machinery.

The gears on the tower crane at the top of the alchemy tower twisted slowly and laboriously, and the huge fuselage of the steam engine bundled below gradually straightened up, as seven or eight employees on the left and right used hooks to adjust the angle.

All the steam machinery inside this extraordinary alchemy tower, such as the grinder on the bottom floor, the steam pipes on the upper floor, and the gas pipes, are all provided by the Green Chamber of Commerce.

"Boom" a burst of smoke filled the air, and the huge steam was finally placed on the underground floor, and then connected with pipes to the machinery that needed steam to power it.

Although the young insurance officer is not old, he is very courageous in his work.

There was no need for Sir Green Walker to come to the installation site in person, but the 10-day workload was required to be completed in 3 days, and even Green Walker did not dare to be careless.

It’s not that the first time I saw Cordo Feifan, I was dizzy by the four badges on the young man’s body.

Instead, the owner of this alchemy tower paid dinars that doubled the market price.

"Sir Green Walker, a group of refugees came outside and blocked the passage for transporting machines under the alchemy tower!"

An employee of the Green Chamber of Commerce ran out from the spiral staircase, came to Green Walker and saluted.

As the local chamber of commerce in York City, Green Walker certainly knows why the homeless people are here.

"Well, have you informed Mr. Gu Lie?"

"On my way here, I already sent someone to search for it on the south slope!"

Green Walker nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, let's go and have a look!"

In the outer city of York, the largest number of residents are undoubtedly refugees.

Most of the civilian settlements in the outer city are wooden houses, with a small number of brick and stone houses.

The slaves were imprisoned in cages with wooden fences, and the remaining shacks built around the alchemy tower were in all likelihood refugees from all over the place.

In York City, some refugees have been passed down for several generations.

Whenever a new alchemy tower is built, refugees flock to it like bees smelling nectar.

If it is handled well, everyone will be happy, but if it is not handled well, it will easily lead to civil unrest, even if the alchemy tower is demolished just after it is built.

When Green Walker saw the densely packed heads under the tower, he couldn't help but panic. This was not a spontaneous act of dozens or hundreds of refugees.

Just by visual inspection, I found that there were at least seven to eight hundred filthy homeless people surrounding the alchemy tower.

Sir Green Walker, who was about to take the initiative to persuade the refugees, stopped.

"Give in, give in!"

Harvey Keith, who was appointed as the slave captain, waved the short stick in his hand and led twenty slaves to walk towards the alchemy tower around a tall and thin man holding a dagger and cutting his nails.

A few refugees with bulging muscles in their arms tried to push forward, but were beaten back with short wooden sticks.

The thin refugees around saw someone being beaten and made way for a two-person wide passage.

When he arrived at the high platform in front of the alchemy tower, Gu Lie stopped what he was doing and looked down.

The surrounding refugees fell silent. Except for a few curses, everyone else looked at the tall and thin man standing on the high platform expressionlessly.

"Ahem, behind me is the alchemy tower of our Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce! If you are here to look for a job, we welcome you. If you are here to find trouble, hum."

What to hum is self-evident. Several sturdy men in the crowd looked at each other, and the ones standing behind raised their heads and shouted.

"We're just looking for work and we won't cause trouble."

As soon as the strong man finished shouting, some of the numb refugees around him nodded and some helped.

"Yeah, we're just looking for work. I haven't eaten for two days."

"Okay," Gu Lie answered, "Has anyone gone to public school? Is there anyone with any skills? Raise your hands so that my men can see you."

As Gu Lie finished speaking, more than a dozen people in the refugee group quickly raised their hands.

The lucky man whose hand was called was quickly called aside by Harvey Keith.

"It's not fair. Can't you get a job if you don't know how to read? Your alchemy tower is the largest one and requires at least 1,000 people."

"Yes, you only have 500 slaves, and you can at least provide jobs for 500 people."

Gu Lie, who sneered, looked at the strong men below who were wearing refugee clothes. The skin in the tattered trousers was actually fair.

"It seems that the owner of this alchemy tower is also a cruel and unscrupulous person. For God's sake, if we demolish his alchemy tower, maybe we can sell it for a few loaves of bread."

Gu Lie was not angry, but the dagger in his hand gently hit the thief badge on his chest.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. Think about the last time you ate hard, black bread, and the wife and children waiting for you in the shack."

Why are there no elderly people? Elderly refugees with no labor value cannot reach York City.

"Come on, everyone follow me."

A spear suddenly appeared from the sun and nailed the strong man who shouted to the ground. The refugees around him quickly moved away, fearing that another spear would appear and shoot at him.

The refugees who were facing the direction of the sun saw a big green man jumping down from the top of the alchemy tower.

The person who came was none other than Dosta. After Gulie gave the two people the task, he was waiting for the signal to tap the badge.

Mr. Extraordinary is probably half a noble. No matter what the identity of the man hiding among the refugees is, he is still a refugee for now.

If Fei Fei were here, he would sigh again. In the Brave Continent, as long as a noble has a reasonable reason, he will be found not guilty of killing a civilian and paying a few hundred dinars. How can he reason with him?

"Ah? Kill people, kill people. The orc slaves of the Extraordinary Chamber of Commerce kill people. The slaves kill civilians. Everyone, hurry up and catch the slave orc and send him to the security station."

"Pfft, pfft"

Another fake refugee whose identity was unknown. Before he could even take two steps forward, three holes appeared in his back. He lay exhausted on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Francis, who emerged from stealth, disappeared into the shadows after killing an unstable element.

Now the refugees were not calm anymore, some pushed forward, some ran back, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

"boom"

Gunpowder guns are really more exciting than steam guns. What Mr. Extraordinary said is true.

Blowing the smoke rising from the muzzle of the gun, Gu Lie looked at the chaotic crowd below, and then spit out the bullets in the magazine toward the sky.

"Bang bang bang bang"

Now the chaotic group of refugees below finally heard the gunshots clearly, and lay on the ground holding their heads in defense.

"Everyone squat down!" The situation was stronger than the others. He released the "Battle Cry" skill on Dosta. All the refugees under the tower were shorter and trembling.

"Is there anyone who is not afraid of death?" Fatty, who was in stealth mode, stared at the people in his field of vision who were secretly retreating, waiting for an opportunity to escape. He grabbed his dagger and chased after them.

Dosta, who had a better vision, pulled out several throwing spears from his back and looked at the wolves among the sheep without emotion.

"Whizzing"

The spears were thrown with great force, and each one was nailed to the ground, looking miserable.

"More powerful than I thought? Two intermediate combat powers!" Sir Green Walker was very emotional as he watched a thief and an orc warrior accurately identify the enemy among hundreds of refugees and punish them.

"It seems that Cordo Feifan doesn't want to be a simple young man. He will give more gifts when he goes back. I hope he can feel my kindness."

Although there was Gu Lie who never made a move from beginning to end, but just looking at his sharp eyes, I believe he was also a difficult person to deal with.

People with evil intentions either ran away or died.

Among the remaining people, Gulie asked Harvey Keith to select 200 more refugees to hire. He believed that the previous scene would make these refugees honest and obedient.

After the refugees dispersed, Gu Lie was thinking about what might happen next, while looking at the two bright red flowers floating down from the carriage in the distance.

When the two girls approached and Ruth was still talking, Lucy had already run up to Dosta and looked at the throwing spear that was almost as long as hers.

"Wow, Dosta, you scared me to death with your roar just now. Did you make these spears yourself?"

Looking at Miss Lucy who was a little above her waist, Dosta scratched her head and made an affirmative sound.

Knowing Dosta's personality, Lucy decided not to ask him, and then waved to say hello to Gu Lie on the high platform in front of the door.

After handing the slime in Dosta's hand, Lucy jumped and ran into the door of the alchemy tower.

Miss Ruth, who arrived later, smiled apologetically at Dosta and wanted to take the slime, but the blue bubbles jumped onto the troll's head and turned into a blue hat.

Dosta signaled that it was okay, and then led Ruth into the alchemy tower.

The fat man who had just arrived also hurried in.

"Oh, Miss Sissel, do you want me to sneak in and call Boss Extraordinary to come over?"

When Gu Lie entered the alchemy tower, he saw the two ladies and Sir Green saluting.

Miss Lucy, in particular, was even more interested in the various steam machinery in the entire tower, which suited Sir Greene's taste. One person praised them loudly, while the other explained them in detail in a low voice.

Ruth was not very interested in these and chatted with Gu Lie while walking.

"Oh, you went to Burman Tower to discuss the auction with Old Henry?"

The Summer Festival was only a few days away, and the University of York was on vacation a few days in advance. The two girls, who had just arrived home and packed up, heard from the maid that Fei Fei had been building an alchemy tower in Beishan, so they took a carriage to find out.

But I don't want to miss it.
