The princesses all come to help me move the bricks [Infrastructure]

89.

Gresham hesitated for about half a minute, and finally agreed neatly because Anna said that she and Dorothy would be able to guide him in magic learning by then.

In the next hundred years, Gresham will serve the lord Anna. One-third of all his income, that is, one-third of the enshrined in Zero Three City, about 70 gold coins per year, will directly belong to the Anna, this belongs to "payment by installments".

In addition, he has to provide corresponding labor, that is, all his personal income will belong to Anna and Alan, but at the same time, Anna will provide him with some study guidance.

In other words, Gresham will become Anna's apprentice, a very formal one, not the informal one of the little helper he found in the alchemy studio before.

In addition, there are some additional conditions, such as Gresham to provide all kinds of help for Anna and others in the recruitment of Zero Three City and so on.

Of course, the premise of this cooperation is that Anna can provide materials and guidance to solve the current problems for Zero Three City.

Anna doesn't think this is a problem at all, but Gresham feels that if he can really get a magician who can solve the big problems at present as his teacher, even if he is just a small disciple and apprentice, he has earned it.

The tuition fee of 70 gold coins per year is not expensive at all——

Compared with many magicians, studying in the mage tower may cost this amount, not including the ability to provide magic materials to help solve current problems.

After reaching a consensus, Anna provided Gresham with corresponding props based on Gresham's theoretical knowledge. At the same time, for some immature parts of his calculations and plans, he provided more professional advice from the "little teacher" give pointers.

Gresham listened carefully.

It was another hour and the moon had risen overhead.

Several people started to move, Dorothy was in charge of one piece, Gresham was in charge of one piece, and Anna was in charge of one piece. Of course, Gresham and Dorothy were mainly in charge. Anna will enter the magic circle for master control later, and it is impossible to stay in the magic circle. outside.

The layout of formations requires precise calculations and arrangements. Gresham is talented in this area. With a large number of fairly good theoretical foundations, he quickly got started.

It was the first time he had done such an attempt, but he did better than expected.

"Then I'll go first."

Anna took a look at Dorothy and activated the [Little Lucky] skill at the same time.

Dorothy nodded knowingly. She would guard Anna as the most loyal guard, while Gresham was a little anxious about the last few steps.

Once the last two magic crystals are buried, the magic circle is considered complete. Anna injects magic power into the core control stone, the magic circle activates, and the currently suppressed fire element will be reawakened, and at the same time, it will have a terrible hedge against the chaotic ice element— —

At that time, no one knows what will happen.

"come on."

Dorothy was thinking in her heart, but her face was still very vigilant.

On the other side, Cinderella hugged the little kitten who was a little drowsy due to the cold, and watched everyone move.

Susan and the others asked the guards and maids to move quickly to arrange the room, so that there should be no mistakes in luggage, etc. Although there are too many people around here, fortunately no one will bother people who are distinguished at first glance, but she does not It can be guaranteed that no unexpected mistakes will happen, and it can only rely on artificial efforts to stare at it.

"Let's go get something to share with everyone."

Cinderella noticed that because of the urgency of the accident, most of the locals might not even have enough food, not to mention thick clothes, and because too many places were frozen, no one could guarantee that they could safely live on.

"It's too short of manpower." Cinderella sighed.

"Yes." Susan also stepped up.

This is her hometown, and even if she already works in Oran and already belongs to Oran, it doesn't mean that she doesn't want Lingsan City and the people here not to experience such a terrible disaster.

"Help if you can."

As Cinderella thought about it, she heard Sister Sita leading someone there and saying that she was going to continue to search for the people trapped there.

Zero Three City is very big, even bigger than imagined. Besides the city itself, many villages and towns in the surrounding area also suffered from this violation.

Although it is the priority city, it is impossible to really ignore other places.

At the beginning, it could last a few days, but it was only three days at most. If no one else came to help, I don't know what kind of purgatory it would become.

"Let me help, please."

Cinderella didn't feel sleepy at all. While she was worried about the situation of the people here, she was also worried about Dorothy and Anna who went out to solve the problem.

Even if she believed in Anna's strength, she couldn't guarantee that no accident would happen.

In addition to praying to the God of Light and blessing them, she also hopes to do what she can.

"Okay." Sister Sita nodded in agreement.

Cinderella took people to the west end, which was said to be where the poor people of the city lived.

Every city has its own slums, which may be geographically or more abstractly expressed, such as the slums in the city and the slums outside the city of King Lore.

The West District of Zero Three City is a place similar to the slums in the city.

People here seem to have decent houses to live in, but the reality is that almost everyone is heavily in debt, and the houses here may be taken away by the owners at any time, they are just tenants.

Many people, even if they live here, face difficulties in survival such as food and clothing, and they are not as decent as they imagined.

Cinderella walked forward with three soldiers from their own team and two local soldiers.

Their main purpose is to give first aid to the trapped people, and then guide them to the vicinity of the Temple of Light. A road back has been "opened" here. There are torches along the way. They rush there with the supplies they have at home. Although there are only tents to live in, there are some supplies from the temple, including some magic props from Lord Gresham for defense.

Although there is no decent house, but at least there is no danger of freezing, and it is a place where there are groups, it is better than staying alone.

What Cinderella and others need to focus on is the old, weak, sick and disabled here.

Because the families with young people who can move have basically brought people to the place of the Temple of Light, those who can escape have already left, and those who cannot escape are often forced to stay where they may have been because of various reasons. was sealed in the house.

Walking from house to house and saving dozens of people, the compassion on Cinderella's face became more obvious.

Although it was great to be able to save people, seeing their desolate appearance made her feel extremely heavy.

Unconsciously, Cinderella remembered how Ola was when she experienced the snowstorm before——

How similar... Even a big city like Lingsan City still has shortcomings, and their Oran has never experienced such a natural or man-made disaster.

Either way, it'll be fine.

Whether it is Lingsan City or Oran, it will be fine.

Cinderella is full of confidence in this point and in Oran's future.

Thinking about it, the smile on her face became brighter and gentler.

A little bit of negative sadness is instant, and she is still the optimistic, kind and beautiful Cinderella, and the just, strict, loyal and upright general affairs officer of Oran.

"There are still three households behind." The local soldier reminded.

Although the temperature was very low, everyone was sweating a little bit. Cinderella felt exhausted even if she didn't personally help.

At this moment, at the other end of the city, a violent roar suddenly sounded——

"Bam—"

The whole earth seemed to be trembling, and from nowhere in the sky, there was another huge and strong collision.

Cinderella almost lost her footing, and everyone looked up in horror.

"Crack-"

"Get out of the way, the ice there is about to crack!" Cinderella suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly shouted.

"Get out of the way!" Seeing that he was about to fall, the soldier who was still on the platform lowered his head and resolutely jumped down from the height of the second floor among the flowers next to him.

Immediately afterwards, at the same time as the ice cubes cracked, several glass windows on the second floor over there also shattered at the same time.

If the soldiers didn't come down, not only would they fall from the gun, but they might also be directly cut into their faces and limbs by various debris.

The physical fitness of the soldiers is still good. Although the height of the second floor is not short, it is not high. At any rate, with the buffer of flowers, although there are some abrasions, their legs and feet are still good.

"Boom-boom-"

The aftermath in the air has not yet dissipated, and the next wave rises again, trembling along with the ground.

Everyone was trembling in their hearts, but Cinderella recovered first.

"Is there anything wrong?" Cinderella asked the soldier they brought.

"No problem." With the help of his comrades in arms, the man stood firm and moved a bit. Although there were some wounds, the problem was not serious, and the damage was similar to that caused by their usual drills.

"Then continue." Her expression was very calm, amidst the roaring collision, she appeared calm and powerful.

"There are still many people waiting for rescue. This must be the lord leading people to solve the problem. We must hurry up."

"Understood!" Everyone looked serious.

I heard the local soldiers continue to explain these families.

While destroying the ice blocks that sealed the door, several people shouted inside. Some responded best, but if they didn't, they had to investigate as much as possible.

If someone falls in the room and fails to echo in time——

They still want to go inside and have a look.

Unlike others, there will not be any wealthy people in this slum, and they will not covet anything in it.

The most important thing is to save people.

Cinderella was directing from below, watching their movements.

Her existence itself is the greatest reassurance for the soldiers, and she never complains about suffering or tiredness, and is always an admirable leader and an excellent affairs officer.

"Cough-cough-"

Cinderella froze for a moment, she seemed to hear some other voices amidst the sound of smashing the glass to save people.

"Cough-cough-"

"Yes..." She looked around with a somewhat inexplicable and anxious expression.

"Is anyone around?"

"Is anyone there?!" she yelled.

A soldier looked back at her, and she raised her hand to signal them to go save first.

Cinderella followed the weak coughing sound and searched around. The weak voice seemed to be engraved in her mind, which made her unable to put it down.

As she walked, she had already left the street just now.

The purpose of tonight is to search the streets of two slums, but where she is currently is not one of the original destinations.

It was even darker here, with no street lamps and no candles.

The houses on both sides obviously looked more dilapidated, at least a lot worse than the previous ones.

"Have--"

Cinderella narrowed her eyes slightly. She put on glasses. Although it may not be useful in finding people, she knew that the ability of this magic item had not been fully developed.

"Do you have--"

It was so weak that it seemed like a little bit of firefly, coming from the roaring sound and the trembling of the earth along the wind.

"Save—save, save me—"

"Yes - no - cough cough -"

"help me--"

There was a stern look on Cinderella's face.

She has heard it clearly.

"Where?!"

"I am here, where are you?"

"wait for me!"

She heard the voice of a little girl, faintly like a kitten meowing softly.

Cinderella didn't notice that the kitten in her arms also pricked up her ears, and at this moment, he jumped out of her arms.

"Hey, cat!" Anna didn't name the cat, so everyone always called this beautiful white cat by names like "cat" and "Mimi".

At this time, in the dark night, on the dark street, the kitten was all white, like a beautiful god. He turned to look at Cinderella, a pair of emerald eyes seemed to glow.

Cinderella responded quickly.

"Did you find it?" She followed in surprise.

"Please take me there and find that little girl."

Cinderella followed the kitten for a few steps, rounded a corner, and drilled into a bush.

Finally, in a very inconspicuous corner, she saw a little girl who was almost covered in snow.

The little girl curled up pitifully, with the eaves connecting the two houses above her head, but it was not able to withstand the wind and snow.

In the freezing environment, she was shivering, with only a thin gray dress with patches on her body. Her hands were completely frozen, and her little hands were covered with severe frostbite that disappeared and reappeared.

In front of her, there were a few burnt matches, and beside her, in an empty basket, was an empty matchbox and a few very poor copper coins.

Cinderella felt that her heart was twisted together, she rushed up and hugged the little girl, the kitten jumped to the side tactfully, he sat upright, flicking his tail, watching Cinderella take off his clothes. He took off the cloak and coat, took off the scarf and gloves, slapped the snow off the little girl's body, and wrapped her up under the uncontrollable trembling movements of the little girl.

"Don't be afraid," Cinderella hugged her, covered her hand with her warm hand, and pressed her warm cheek against her cold and trembling cheek, "I'm coming, don't be afraid."

Cinderella comforted her in a low voice and coaxed her tenderly. The little girl was coughing and trying to say something.

Cinderella watched her, wrapped her tighter, warmed her with her own body temperature, and then picked up the little girl.

Her eyes fell on the basket and matches that the little girl had never let go of. Cinderella realized that this little girl was a very common but not common little match seller.

In winter, there are quite a few children like her who rely on selling matches or charcoal fires for a living. In other words, poor families have no adults to work, so they can only let children come out for some sales activities.

But she didn't expect that in this sudden snowstorm, there would be such a poor child, without the care of other adults, who had to go out, and then—

Encountering such a danger, I lost the ability to move because of cold and hunger, and now there is no place to sell food outside.

The little girl has nothing but the matches she has used up.

He could only hide pitifully in an inconspicuous corner, looking forward to the rescue of others.

The only thing Cinderella was lucky about was that she heard it, and fortunately she came.

She realized that, at such a distance, maybe she shouldn't have heard it, but maybe it was the help of the gods——

In the end, luck favored the little girl and also favored Cinderella.

Holding the poor little girl in her arms, she returned to the street where the soldiers had been before.

Everyone was taken aback, the little girl was breathing very weakly, but at least she still had a life.

They hurriedly took some of the people they had just rescued and left the street. Cinderella didn't go out because she was worried, and Susan took the group of rescuers just now and continued to look for people in need.

"I go--"

This was the first time Anna encountered such a large-scale battle in another world.

It is not entirely accurate to say that it is a battle, at least with the naked eye, in the current situation, there is no other human being who wants to fight her.

Ana was just wrestling with the omnipresent elements in the air like never before, that's all.

The fire element under the control of the magic circle collided violently with the violent ice element in the air.

Anna has superimposed five states for herself, but she was almost thrown out.

This is the force of nature, she has no "home court advantage".

Fortunately, except for the first impact, she has stabilized later.

After determining the strength of magic that exists, everything becomes simple.

"Fire Dragon!" Her wand was raised, and countless red spots of light surged from the tip.

The red dragon jumped up from the wand, straight up and rushed into the sky.
