The Doctor In the Steampunk World

Chapter 770: price gouging

After Simon said goodbye to Marshall, before returning to the ninth inning, he encountered the knight of the ninth inning, who came to him specifically.

It was sent by Stellan, and he was looking for him to go back.

Simon hurried to Stellan's office. The office was still full of smoke, and Stellan and Donald were smoking.

"Simon, why didn't you say a word when you went to the outer city?" Stellan asked immediately.

Simon said puzzledly: "Uh, is there any problem with this?"

"Of course there is a problem. Now the situation in the outer city is still unclear. I don't know how many snow monsters are hidden. You are injured again, and the Dark Warrior Secret Demon Armor is not around. What should you do if you are in danger?" Lan said so.

"You are now the pillar of our nine innings, and even the pillar of Fossa City. If there is a mistake, how will we fight against the Snow Demon in the future." Donald also said.

Simon touched his nose, is he so important?

"Forget it, remember to report when you want to go out in the future, and I'll arrange for a knight to follow you." Seeing Simon's appearance, Stellan said no more.

"Okay, I'll make a note. Director, you're here for this?"

"Not all, by the way, how is your injury?"

"It's 70% to 80% back, it's no longer in the way."

"That's good, first of all, the city hall has expressed strong approval for your performance in the two battlefields of the Lawless Land and Garbage Mountain yesterday, and has confirmed to upgrade your knight level and knighthood. You are now a silver high knight and a viscount. , congratulations." Stellan laughed.

"Is there any other reward." Simon was not interested in this kind of reward.

"I know that you don't like this kind of reward very much, so the City Hall decided to temporarily open the resource library of the Mayor Hall to you. If you have anything you want, you can put it up." Stellan laughed.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, but your invitation can't be too outrageous."

"I understand." Simon thought about it seriously. At present, he has the Dark Knight's Secret Magic Armor and the Disintegrating Sword, as well as the Soul Hunter Pistol. There are almost no other requirements for weapons and equipment.

"I want magic medicine and essence mysticism, and I need life attribute ore, but this is not for me, the disaster of the snow demon is far from over, and there will definitely be more difficult battles in the future, I need life attribute Ore can restore strength and heal the wounded more effectively."

Stellan nodded: "I will try my best to help you fight for it, but after all, life-attribute ores are limited, and the magician of the Mechanical Academy is responsible for the treatment, the City Hall must be more inclined to them."

Simon expressed his understanding, and then said: "I need all kinds of potions, spiritual potions, Dalloway potions, these potions can enhance my combat effectiveness."

"That should be fine."

"And I need a portable pollution source above a medium-sized scale, preferably a large-scale pollution source." Simon said again.

"A pollution source, or is it a medium-sized or larger pollution source? What do you want it for?" Both Stellan and Donald were startled and puzzled.

"Of course it's to deal with the snow demon. I'm not sure if the battle will encounter yesterday's trap. If it really comes to the juncture of life and death, the source of pollution may be the key to turning things around." Simon said sternly.

"This..." Even the strongest knights can't stand the pollution source above the medium scale. The two of them knew that this was their plan to perish together.

Simon said lightly: "I am a magician, and my probability of surviving in the source of pollution is much higher than others."

In fact, it is Simon's confidence given by the power of shadow ghost eating.

Stellan thought for about a minute, then said solemnly, "I'll prepare it for you, I just hope you won't need it."

"Better!"

"Any other requests?"

"temporarily unavailable."

"Okay, I'll go to the city hall in person to explain it to you later, and prepare it for you as soon as possible."

"By the way, Director, has my Dark Knight Mystery Armor been repaired?" Simon asked.

"It has been repaired. The Academy of Mechanical Engineering helped you repair the magic armor overnight. Because it didn't hurt the root, it was repaired quickly. When you left, Kai'Sa sent back your dark warrior magic armor."

"That's great, I'm applying to go to the Xiacheng District immediately to search for the snow demon." Simon said immediately.

"No, you must wait for your injury to fully recover before you can search for the Snow Demon." Stellan refused directly.

"My injury is fine."

"That won't work either, it must be fully restored. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. At present, the Tie Yu Army, the Security Bureau and the military have all sent more people to search for the snow demon. "

Stellan's attitude was very firm, and Simon had to give up.

Exchanged the current situation with Stellan, and they had no new information, so Simon left. He took a turn in the basement consultation room, looked at the condition of the wounded, and then treated them again before returning to the room. rest.

Stellan moved quickly, and went to the city hall not long after Simon left and reported Simon's request.

Except for the life-attribute ore ~lightnovelpub.net~, the other conditions are basically agreed, and the resources required by Simon are being coordinated.

Two hours later, Chekwin came to Simon, probably for a donation.

"Simon, why do you want to raise funds on a whim." Cheekwen looked helpless.

"What is a whim, I'm just pitiful for the homeless people in the outer city."

"There are so many poor people, can you save them?"

"Can save one is one, what? You don't want to do it?"

"That's not true. It's just that the prices of Fossa City are soaring now, especially the prices of clothes and food are ridiculously high. If you want to buy enough clothes and food, the money you need is not a little bit." Chekewen was helpless. road.

"Soaring prices? What's going on?" Simon frowned.

"It's a rare commodity. In such a big snow disaster, food and clothing are necessities. Of course, the price will rise. Now the price of cotton clothes has tripled, and the increase in food is even more exaggerated."

"Those businessmen are making black money, so the city hall doesn't care?" Simon's face was extremely ugly.

"No matter what, since those businessmen dare to raise prices, they naturally have a background. Most of them are related to the nobles and the city hall, so what to do. Every winter, this is the case. Every year, there are fundraising activities to use Buying food and clothing, most of the profits are made by those merchants."

"This is a waste of life." Simon said angrily.

"As long as there are interests, what is human life? Besides, people from the outer city and the lower city are even less valuable in the eyes of some people." Chekwen shook his head.
