The Origin of Arcane

Chapter 87 The Corpse Collector

Sean is not going to sell raw materials, that kind of business is too low-end, and the packaging and sales of finished products is his real pursuit. It depends on whether his mother can make high-end things.

Even though the value of spicy fruit powder has doubled in Xiao En's mind, he still has no intention of intervening, but has strengthened his determination to support Ms. Elena's research. After all, she has treated Angelina for more than ten years. , I have a better understanding of her condition, and the research has more direction.

Since then, Sean has had two more diners.

As soon as the meal time came, he showed up at his medical center on time. Fortunately, he had the foresight to open a restaurant, otherwise just cooking would take up a lot of his time. When the strength enters the active period, the amount of exercise can be relaxed, and the food intake has increased, but it is relatively limited, at most, the food intake of an adult man.

But Alveria, the head of the guard, is different. Regardless of her tall and slender appearance, she is actually a serious knight, and a very experienced one. Her training is so abnormal that even Sean can't help but sigh. For example, the appetite is naturally quite scary.

She can spend half an hour swallowing a one-year-old short-tailed yellow sheep, including meat and soup, into its stomach that does not bulge at all, and maintains an elegant eating posture during the whole process.

What Xiao En criticized the most was that they didn't pay for meals, and the restaurant was now profitable enough to support the three of them to eat and drink.

The benefits of eating and drinking here for Angelbena are obvious. Like Portrand's kind of savage hooligans, let alone come to make trouble, even if they can't be seen in the two streets around.

Even if Angelberina's mother is an Andis slave girl, she is the most unpopular member of the Faerun family, but that is only within the Faerun family. As for the distressed princess in the novel, the street beggar The plot that can be humiliated at will will never appear.

A princess is a princess. Unless her family is in trouble, she will be a princess wherever she goes. The result of daring to tease and humiliate her face to face is the least serious result, being beheaded on the spot by the head of the guard Alveria, and it is more likely to hurt herself The family and even the family, because the princess represents the whole family when she is away from home, and her surname will never allow any profanity and defilement.

The second benefit of Angelbena's arrival is to give those proud Manyu people a step down. Look at the sick princess of the Faerun family who haunts there all day, either she has a share in that industry, or it is there Doctors here have real talents and knowledge, no matter what the reason is, they can come here to eat and seek medical treatment with peace of mind.

Angel Bella attracted not only ordinary Manyu people, but also lords and aristocrats who didn't even look at medical clinics and restaurants before, especially those young and vigorous princes and buddies. Like a courtship rooster, trying to show the most handsome and chic side of itself,

The purpose is self-evident, and naturally it is to attract Angelbena's attention. It doesn't matter whether they are due to Angelberna's beauty or the right to inherit the Faerun family.

Now, there is more than one duel scene in front of Xiao En's medical center every day. The difference from previous duels is that this time they not only want to win, but also let themselves win when they are injured, so that they can not only enjoy the glory of victory, You can also enjoy Angel Bella's loving bandages in the medical clinic.

That's right, Angel Bena not only eats and drinks with Sean, but also spends most of her time here, serving as Sean's apprentice. She has an extraordinary interest in medical skills.

Xiao En understands this very well, because he has also had the same experience. It is not uncommon for people who have been on the verge of life and death to fear death and thus become interested in medical skills.

Sean is like this, Angel Bena is like this, so is Charles who sacrificed his life to study the epidemic, and the great knight Ajel who recovered from the disease, although a little helpless, also chose to devote themselves to medicine.

Angel Bena not only has a good medical talent, but 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, entering into other people's body, a little carelessness will cause damage.

Angel Bella's is not the case. As long as the intensity is well controlled, it will produce a water-like nourishing effect, which not only promotes wound healing, but also has a warm and cool comfort, which is completely opposite to Sean's burning sensation.

Now in the medical clinic, Angie Bella's popularity is far higher than Sean's, which makes Sean can't help but sigh, no matter where he goes, the essence of the face-seeing era will not change. Of course, his magic power is not very comfortable. But in terms of bone setting, it is eight blocks away from Angel Bella.

He has practiced countless times, and his strength control is not comparable to that of Angel Bena, but those patients would rather suffer more than take the initiative to find Angel Bena and ask her to use him to practice, Xiao En couldn't help it.

For those noble sons and gentlemen, Sean was not polite at all, and the various expenses were very high. It would be useless to kill this kind of fat pig delivered to the door.

...

Forget alleyways.

Just like its name, it is the existence that Solo City is trying to forget. It is located in the most remote and worst location in the city. All the sewage must be collected from here, and then merged into the Jacob River that is tens of miles away and is on the verge of drying up. .

There is a weird 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. That group of people, they have a common occupation - corpse collector.

In any big city with a certain size, a body collector is an indispensable profession, because no one is willing to move those who die on the street for unknown reasons.

Who knows whether they died of freezing, starvation, or illness.

If it's the latter, wouldn't moving their corpses bring death?

Diseases can be transmitted through contact, as long as it is not something that a fool knows.

Although the Holy See of the Holy See of Saint Ether will take the initiative to collect the corpses of some homeless people out of faith and humanitarianism, but they will give priority to those who believe in the Holy See. For ordinary people, they will only involve a few streets around the church, and then go far away from the Holy See. Also powerless.

On the one hand, the manpower is limited, and the local nobles don't like their stretching their hands too far, so the body collectors came into being, and it was natural.

The size of the body collectors in Solo City is obviously larger than that of ordinary cities, because the prosperity of the two industries of gladiators and slave trade will result in more corpses that are not collected. Those slave owners usually spend a little money to save trouble. , Hiring corpse collectors to collect corpses is a customary way.

There are two main sources of corpse collectors.

One is to engage in this profession spontaneously. This kind of person usually has no special skills, is a childless widower, and lives by collecting corpses, collecting wealth from corpses, and meager subsidies from the city hall. When such people are really scarce, The city hall will designate some criminals to engage in corresponding work in exchange for a reduced punishment.

No matter which city they are in, corpse collectors are the most impoverished category. If they were not poor, they would not engage in this dangerous profession.

It's just nonsense to make a lot of money from death. If you die homeless on the street and wait for them to collect the body, how much money can you get on your body?

Burying money is a beautiful lie. When a person is about to starve to death, he can do any crazy thing, so how can he keep money on himself?

The only ones who are a bit oily are those wealthy businessmen who died in foreign lands, but this would take a huge risk. Such people usually died of disease.

Some corpse collectors have become very rich, but they have no life to enjoy the money. Most of the time, they can't even grab this opportunity. When faced with the temptation of great wealth, many poor people will choose to take risks.

As for the financial subsidy of the city hall, after layers of exploitation, it fell into their hands, and it would be good to be able to maintain half of it. In a disaster year, the city hall will directly forget their existence.

Corpse collectors usually don't live long, and being able to work for ten years is a rare existence.

Old John is definitely an ancestor-level existence in this business. He has been working as a corpse collector for nearly twenty years.

From a middle-aged man with a hunchback and a limp, to an old man with gray hair, a hunchback and a limp, he is nearly seventy years old, not to mention among the corpse collectors, even among ordinary people.

In recent years, his stamina has declined badly. Old John seldom goes out to collect corpses himself. His livelihood comes from the help of other corpse collectors. After all, more than half of the corpse collectors in the Forgotten Lane are his disciples and grandchildren.

Old John used to be kind and generous. He would always lend a helping hand to anyone who had difficulties, and he never kept secrets about his skills.

I don't know when, Old John has become the leader of the body collector industry, and he is willing to come to him for advice on anything.

In the past, others took the initiative to find Old John, but it was rare for Old John to call for someone, especially for calling a group of people, which was even rarer.

The industry of corpse collectors is not big or small. Even if they are not familiar with it, most of them can chat a few words and ask each other for a while. No one knows what kind of medicine Old John is selling in the gourd tonight. Called here temporarily.

The house that Old John lived in could be regarded as an old house, the layout was not that big, and it was full of quaint and dilapidated atmosphere.

The only thing that is commendable is that his house is neat and clean enough. The smell that fills the air is the special smell of the Forgotten Alleyway itself, and there is no other peculiar smell inside the house.

Although Old John was a widower, he was famous for being neat and tidy. No matter how poor his family was, the house was always cleaned spotlessly. No matter how much his clothes were patched, they were still very clean.

Many nobles are not as particular about this aspect as she is. Because of this habit, he often provokes ridicule and sarcasm. A corpse collector who is as low as a slave actually behaves like a lord and aristocrat.

It's just that Old John does his own thing, after so many years, everyone has long been used to it.

These collectors didn't realize that they were willing to make do with Old John's house because it was clean and comfortable enough to feel more comfortable than in their own messy and smelly home.
