Chapter 61 Strange Races Wow~ So many~!
“Your Majesty, I have sent you some men. Do you need them?” Pearl suddenly appeared.
The three little firemen who were sprawled on the sofa suddenly jumped up and looked at Pearl warily.
Pearl was dressed in a black robe and wore a mask. Her voice had been altered, and she reeked of blood. Anyone would be wary of her.
Something flashed through Esther's mind. "Are you sure it's manpower, not trouble?"
“If you don’t want me, I’m leaving,” Pearl said.
After thinking for a moment, Easter said, "Thank you. Please take them to the workshop first."
“No problem,” Pearl said and left.
Pearl wasn't targeting Ister; she was just too angry. That reckless dark mage dared to attack the merfolk and deserved their revenge. And then there were the elves, a race even more dangerous than them. The continent was truly in chaos; all sorts of suicidal things were popping up everywhere.
Easter pondered. With new players coming online, there shouldn't be a shortage of manpower, but different races will have different uses. Risks and opportunities coexist. Keeping them should not be a big problem.
"Your Majesty, who is it that has come?" Yunmu asked curiously.
“Would you like to come with me to the workshop?” Easter asked. “I’ll tell you on the way.”
“Sure, we’re no longer helpless chickens, we can protect the baby well.” Yunmu happily agreed.
“Don’t get too excited,” Meimei said. “By the standards of this world, we’re just getting started.”
“Being able to get started is already quite impressive,” Ist said, leading a few little firemen outside. “Slowly, you will grow into extremely powerful warriors.”
"Baby, you're always so gentle and tolerant of us, aren't you tired?" Yunmu isn't an immature young person. This game has an age limit of twenty and above. No matter how young she is, she has experienced a lot.
“Gentle?” Easter asked, puzzled. “How could I be tired? I don’t feel like I should be tired.”
"What an amazing little angel!" Yun Mu's reaction could only be described as exaggerated.
Easter smiled. "Thank you."
"He's such a wonderful kid." Yunmu turned to Meimei and chatted.
Meimei looked up at East, and the beauty mark at the corner of East's eye was softened by his gentle expression, a gentleness like wine that could make one dizzy. "Not bad."
Yunmu then turned her gaze, seeking approval, to Guagua, "Don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Guagua didn't deny the king's charm, but wasn't this going a bit too far? Even believers who worship gods can't go this far.
"Why are you being so perfunctory?" Yunmu asked, dissatisfied with the scathing reply.
The quack changed the subject, "Your Majesty, who are we waiting for?"
The carriage was already in front of them, but Ister made no move.
"I'm here." It was Suibian who rushed over. His teleportation location was inside the hall, so he was a little late.
"Slow down, no rush." Easter helped Suibian, who was rushing too fast and almost tumbled down the stairs.
"Whatever," she quickly steadied herself, "thank you, I'll be more careful next time."
One person and four little fire people boarded the carriage, which drove out of the palace and headed towards the workshop.
The workshop was built five days ago, and in the past five days, its operation has gradually gotten on track.
"Your Majesty, who was that just now?" Mei Mei asked.
Easter replied, "An acquaintance, who came to deliver someone to us." The hall wasn't entirely filled with players; if someone overheard his answer, it wouldn't be good.
"The mermaid from that day?" Mei Mei asked sharply.
Easter nodded with a smile.
"Those species look very badly injured. Can they be saved?" Yunmu asked worriedly. "We already have limited resources. If we raise more sick and weak animals, will they even survive?"
Yunmu felt that those species had no future following them. They were living a life of hardship, and even the king had to personally intervene to negotiate prices. Given the chance, she would rather rely on the merfolk, who were all wealthy. It would be better for them than to follow them.
“Their abilities are very useful,” East said. “Goblins can dig tunnels to find treasure, and most importantly, they can mine.” He knew that players didn’t like mining, finding it too much work.
"The little fairy can use illusions to bewitch others, and can also become invisible and help gather information;" but generally no one would ask the little fairy to gather information, because the little fairy is timid and easily has a stress reaction when frightened.
"The abilities of the Butterfly Clan complement those of the Little Fairies. The scales they scatter can be used to bewitch others, and they also have healing abilities, although not very strong. There is a romantic saying that they can bring people positive emotions such as happiness and joy;" The Butterfly Clan possesses all the abilities of butterflies, such as pollination and honey collection, and they have even enhanced the abilities of butterflies.
"The Rock Clan, also known as the Stone Clan, are a race whose appearance is as if they are made of stone. Their staple food is ordinary stones. They are hardworking, strong, and have a natural affinity for earth magic elements. They are very popular slaves, and for this reason, their numbers are now very small."
The four little firemen listened quietly to Esther's story. They had seen a lot of non-human races in the promotional videos, such as demons, mermaids, elves, and orcs, and most of all, monsters. These did not include the ones Esther was talking about now.
“That’s quite interesting,” Yunmu said. “Are there other races?”
“There are many,” East said. “This continent is vast and encompasses countless races, at least tens of thousands.”
"For example, there are the Tree People, who are so rare that they only exist in legends; the Giants, who are nearly extinct, are huge and always hungry, so they are keen on starting wars, and their fate is obvious; the Snow Clan, who only appear in the coldest places, seem to be made of snow and can control wind and snow to attack people; the Dream Clan, who exist between reality and illusion, and no one has ever seen their true appearance; the Mushroom Clan, who live in damp and dark underground environments; and there is another race that you will definitely be interested in, the Spirit Clan, who can predict the future to some extent. There are many more, and I can explain them to you one by one when I have the chance."
The four little fire men, engrossed in listening, only then realized that they had arrived at their destination.
"Wow~ so many~!" Yunmu exclaimed. "But why do I rarely hear about them?"
“Because their numbers are small and their abilities are weak, they are not enough to form a powerful group,” East explained.
"If there are demons, why aren't there angels?" Guagua asked, puzzled. "Aren't angels and gods always bound together?"
“The gods are high above us, in a different world, and no living being can accompany them,” Ister said with a smile, before getting off the carriage.
"Is it irony?" Guagua asked hesitantly.
“Isn’t that obvious?” Yunmu said. “Have you forgotten the description of the child, ‘The King Forsaken by the Gods’? There’s some grudge between them.” Yunmu left this sentence and got off the carriage.
"Why do you make me sound like a bad guy?" Guagua felt extremely wronged. He had only asked a question out of curiosity and hadn't done anything heinous, had he?
“Don’t worry about it too much,” Meimei said. “It’s not that I have a problem with you, you’re just being taken out on.”
Quack quack quack, so light and airy, taking your anger out on others as if it were perfectly reasonable. Is this normal?
East didn't care what the players thought or said; the land in front of him had changed drastically.
The surrounding trees had been cut down, the road surface had been leveled, and a large house stood on the cleared ground, divided into various functional areas, mainly for smelting and casting, warehouses for storing materials, and living areas such as a canteen and accommodation.
There will definitely be human workers here in the future; for now, there's only a dwarf and some players.
The people Pearl sent were all in the warehouse. When East walked in, he saw all sorts of different races huddled together. From the light screen conjured by the system, it didn't seem like there were that many of them. But in reality, the number was not small. All the races combined numbered at least a hundred.
Pearl lifted her eyelids slightly. "Their physical injuries have been mostly treated, and their mental state has been calmed down. You can handle the rest yourself."
"Thank you." When I entered, I noticed the injuries on these species, even those that were missing limbs, they all seemed to have recovered.
“You’re welcome. Your help in taking over has saved me a lot of trouble,” Pearl said. “I’ve sent the elf away. The Kingdom of Ramon won’t be peaceful from now on. Don’t get involved for now. You can clean up the mess after things have calmed down.”
Easter looked up.
“Don’t look at me, no one can hide what you’re thinking,” Pearl’s tone remained relatively calm throughout. “I’m leaving now, you’re busy.”
It seems that this battle with the dark sorcerer, and what she discovered in it, has had a significant impact on Pearl.
East nodded and didn't linger. Pearl had said and done enough; he knew what to do next.
“Baby, what did he say?” Yunmu asked.
“We’ll talk about it later,” East said, glancing at Suibian. “They’ve already been treated; take a quick look again.”
Whatever, "Okay."
But when Ranran approached, all these species retreated and huddled together even more tightly.
"Whatever," he said, looking to Easter for help. "The patient isn't cooperating, so I can't examine him."
East's gaze fell on the group of trembling creatures. "Don't be afraid, everyone. He's going to check you up. Once he's sure you're okay, it's up to you whether you want to leave or stay here."
"You...you mean it?" The one who spoke was a handsome man with white hair and white eyes.
“I have no reason to deceive you.” Easter was unmoved by the man’s appearance.
The casual inspection proceeded smoothly, with Easter and the remaining three little firemen waiting on the side.
"A little malnourished, but otherwise no major problems." After a round of checks, he casually gave the answer, and he sighed inwardly, "No wonder it's a world with magic, it's really amazing."
Just then, more little fire people came in, carrying food in their hands. Their beady eyes looked around curiously, and they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"So many unique races, so beautiful, so amazing."
"Is that a little elf? It's so cute!"
"Did the butterfly come to life? It's so sparkly."
"Wolf ears! Fury fans can't take it anymore."
