Chapter 87 The Collector
Sean is not planning to sell raw materials. The business is too low-end. Packaging and selling finished goods is his real pursuit. It depends on whether his mother can make it and whether he can create high-end things.
Even though the value of spicy fruit fans has increased several times in Sean's mind, he still has no intention of interfering, but has become more determined to support Ms. Elena's research. After all, she has treated Angie Benna for more than ten years, and has a better understanding of her condition and a more direction in research.
Since then, Sean has two more diners.
As soon as the meal is up, he appears in his medical center on time. Fortunately, he has the foresight and opened a restaurant. Otherwise, cooking alone will take up a lot of his time. Angie Benna's appetite is still fine. As the magic power enters the active period, her exercise volume can be relaxed and her appetite increases, but it is relatively limited. At most, she will be the appetite of an adult man.
But Alvilia, the commander of the guard, is different. Although she looks tall and slender, she is actually a serious knight and very senior. Her training is abnormal. Even Sean sighs that she is not as good as her appetite, and her appetite is naturally quite scary.
She could swallow a one-year-old short-tailed yellow lamb with meat and soup into her belly that was not raised at all, and maintain an elegant eating posture throughout the whole process.
What made Sean criticized the most was that they didn't pay for their meals, and the restaurant now made a profit that barely kept the three of them from eating and drinking.
The benefits of Angie Benna eating and drinking here are obvious. Like the gangsters who fought the autumn wind like Potterron, let alone making trouble, they will not be seen even on both streets around.
Even though Angelbena's mother was an Andys female slave and the least popular one in the Feren family, that was only within the Feren family. As for the plot in the novel where the princess in trouble and street beggars can be humiliated at will, it would not appear at all.
The princess is a princess. Unless the family is in trouble, she will be princesses everywhere she goes. She dares to tease and humiliate her face and is the least likely to be killed by the commander of the guard Alvilla on the spot, and it is more likely to affect her family and even her family, because the princess goes out and represents the entire family, and her surname will never allow any blasphemy or defilement.
The second benefit of Angebena's arrival is to give those arrogant Man's education a step forward. Look at the sick princess of the Feren family who is present all day long, either her share in the industry, or the doctors there have real talents and knowledge. No matter what the reason, they can come here to have a meal and seek medical treatment with peace of mind.
Angie Benna attracted not only those ordinary men, but also the Lords and nobles who had never even seen the medical center and the restaurant before, especially those young and energetic young men, who were dressed up in a colorful manner, like little roosters who were courting, trying to show their most handsome and chic side.
The purpose is self-evident, and it is naturally to attract Angebena's attention. Whether they are due to Angebena's beauty or inheritance of the Feren family, it is no longer important.
Now in front of Sean's medical center, more than one duel scene is staged every day. Unlike previous duels, this time they not only want to win, but also win when they are injured. This way, they can not only enjoy the glory of victory, but also enjoy the bandage of Angebena's love in the medical center.
That's right, Angelbena not only eats and drinks with Sean, but also spends most of her time here and works as an apprentice to Sean. She has an extraordinary interest in medical skills.
Sean understands this very well because he has had the same experience. People who have been on the verge of life and death will become afraid of death and become interested in medical skills. This kind of example is not uncommon.
This is true for Sean, Angie Benna, and Charles, who sacrificed himself for the study of the epidemic. Although he recovered from the disease, the great knight Ager and others chose to devote themselves to medicine due to some helplessness.
Not only does Angie Benna have good medical talents, her water attribute magic power is naturally more suitable for medical treatment than Sean's fire attribute.
Sean's magic power is even more violent. If you enter other people's bodies, you will cause damage if you are not careful.
The same is true for Angie Benna. As long as you control the strength, it will produce a water-like nourishing effect. It not only promotes the healing of the wound, but also has a warm and cool feeling of comfort, which is completely opposite to Sean's burning sensation.
Now in the medical center, Angie Benna's popularity is far higher than Sean, which makes Sean sigh that no matter where he goes, the essence of the face-looking era will not change. Although his magic power is not very comfortable, he has to be eight streets ahead of Angie Benna in terms of bone cutting.
He has practiced countless times, and his strength control is not comparable to that of Angebena. But those patients would rather suffer more than take the initiative to find Angebena and ask her to practice with him. Sean can do nothing.
Sean is not polite to those noble young men. The fees are very high. Such fat pigs that come to the door will not be killed.
...
Forgotten alleyway.
Just like its name, it is the existence that Solo City strives to forget. It is located in the most remote and worst location in the city. All the sewage must gather here and then merge into the exhausted Jacob River dozens of miles away.
There is a strange smell that cannot be described in words all the time. People who come here for the first time will always have an illusion of suffocation. However, what really makes people fear here like a snake or a scorpion and stay away from it is because the group of people living here have a common profession - the corpse collector.
In big cities with a certain scale, corpse collectors are an indispensable profession, because no one wants to touch those who die on the streets without knowing the reason.
Who knows whether they were frozen to death, starved to death, or died of illness.
If it were the latter, wouldn’t it be a pity to try to die?
Bacteria can be transmitted through contact, and as long as they are not fools know.
Although the Holy See's Holy See's Holy See's Holy See's voluntary collection of homeless people out of faith and humanitarianism, they will give priority to those who believe in the Holy See. They will only involve a few streets around the church, and the Holy See's power is powerless even if it is far away.
On the one hand, the local nobles did not like that they stretched their hands too long, and the corpse collectors came into being, which was natural.
The scale of corpse collectors in Solo City is significantly larger than that in ordinary cities, because the prosperity of the two industries of gladiators and slave trade will cause more corpses that are not restrained. In order to save trouble, slave owners usually spend a little reward and hire corpse collectors to restrain their bodies, which is a customary way.
There are two main sources of corpse collectors.
One is a spontaneous career. Such people usually have no skills. A widower who has no children can maintain their lives by collecting corpses and slim subsidies from the city hall. When such people are really scarce, the city hall will designate some prisoners to engage in corresponding work in exchange for reduced punishment.
No matter which city they are in, the corpse collectors are the poorest and poor. If they are not poor, they will not engage in this dangerous profession.
If you make a fortune, it's nonsense. How much oil can you get on the body when you're homeless and die on the street, waiting for them to collect the body?
Burying corpses is a beautiful lie. When people are about to starve to death, they can do anything crazy, so how can they keep money on themselves and not spend it?
The only ones who are a little bit rich are those rich who die in a foreign land, but this takes huge risks. Such people usually die from an epidemic.
Some corpse collectors get rich but have no life to enjoy the money. Most of the time, they can’t even get this opportunity. When facing the temptation of a wealthy person, many poor people will choose to take risks.
As for the financial subsidies of the city hall, after layers of exploitation and falling into their hands, it would be nice to maintain half fullness. In the disaster year, the city hall would directly forget their existence.
The corpse collector usually does not live long and is rare in his ability to work for ten years.
Old John is definitely an ancestor-level existence in this industry. He has been engaged in corpse collectors for nearly twenty years.
From a middle-aged man with a hunchback and a lame leg, he turned into an elderly man with gray hair and a hunchback and lame leg. He was nearly seventy years old. Not to mention the corpse collectors, even ordinary people are considered to be a long-lived person.
In recent years, his physical strength has declined greatly. Old John rarely goes out to collect corpses himself. His life comes from the help of other corpses. After all, if you count it carefully, more than half of the corpses collected in the entire Forgotten Alley are his disciples.
Old John was a kind and generous person in the past. Anyone who had difficulties would always lend a helping hand and never hide his own skills.
I don’t know when, Old John has become the leader of the industry of corpse collectors. He is willing to come to him for advice if he has any matters.
In the past, others took the initiative to find Old John, but few old John took the initiative to call people, especially when they called for a bunch of people, which was unique.
The industry of corpse collectors is not big or small. Even if they are not familiar with it, most of them can chat and ask for a while. No one knows what the old John sells tonight. Many people are called over here temporarily.
The house where Old John lives is considered an old house, but the layout is not big, and it is filled with a quaint and decay everywhere.
The only thing that is commendable is that his house is clean enough, and the smell filled with air is the special smell of the forgetting alley itself, and there is no other odor inside the house.
Although Old John is a widower, he is famous for his tidyness. No matter how poor his family is, the house is always cleaned and no matter how many patches his clothes are, they are washed very clean.
Many nobles did not have her particularity in this regard, because of this habit, he caused many ridicule and ridicule. A corpse collector who was as lowly as a slave actually had the same style as a lord and noble.
But Old John does his own way, and after so many years, everyone has long been used to it.
