Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 28: . New week

  The early sun rises in the desert to the east.

   The temperature is slowly rising. Although it hasn't got rid of the cold before dawn, it also brings a little warmth with the morning light.

   This is a new day.

  Similarly, it is still a new week in the sentry oasis.

   The sun was shining on the wooden windows of the ruling hall, and several unknown birds shouted, flapping their small wings in their chirping sounds, as if they were also cheering for the dawn of the morning.

   A peaceful scene.

   "Is it dawn?" Kant woke up.

   reached out and rubbed his face, and his spirit gradually recovered in the faint.

   Lifted the wool blanket, he grabbed the clothes at the head of the bed and put it on, so he couldn't continue to sleep.

   Because the system prompt has appeared.

  【Ding… With the rising sun, a new week begins. 】

  【Income: You receive a tax of 50 dinars in Dekhrem (village). 】

   [Expenses: You pay 360 dinars to all troops. 】

   Sleepiness completely disappeared.

   "Be the first." Kant stunned.

   The system is settled once a week. Previously Kant had no villages and no regular troops, so there were no taxes to collect and no wages to pay.

   So much that he forgot about it.

  And looking at the expenditure column, the high figure of 360 dinars, Kant frowned.

   This is not too much...

   But too much!

   Kant's face was hard to bear and he couldn't help biting his teeth: "Somewhat uncomfortable."

   But there is no alternative.

  According to the current size of the troops, it is indeed an important part of the weekly expenditure, and even far exceeds the dinars consumed in the construction of village buildings.

  Swadia recruits, 1 dinar per week.

  Swadia militia, 4 dinars per week.

   and desert robbers, 12 dinars a week.

   This is a single weekly salary.

  Convert it down.

   30 recruits is 30 dinars.

   35 militia is 140 dinars.

   16 desert robbers are 192 dinars.

   360 dinars in total.

   Weekly troop salary expenditures made Kant feel numb for a while.

   is almost scary!

   "System." Kant sighed: "Show balance."

  【Funds: 20 dinars】

   The system gives a separate data frame.

   For this, Kant could only nod and smile bitterly: "Sure enough."

   Today, a week ago, Kant, who had just come to the sentry oasis, received a reward of 1,000 dinars.

   7 days passed in the blink of an eye.

   The current balance is 20 dinars.

   This little bit of money is equal to bankruptcy in the previous game, not to mention that Kant is now in the real world. Without the currency recognized by the dinar system, it is simply impossible.

  Not to mention village development, it is difficult to maintain troops.

  He has not paid 360 dinars for the maintenance of the troops next week.

  Unless the troops are disbanded.

  But this is tantamount to finding a dead end.

  The threat of jackals is like the sword of Damocles hanging over the head. If the troops are disbanded, it is estimated that the next time the brutal primitive races attack again, the sentry oasis will be razed to the ground.

   "Oil lamp is dry."

   Kant shook his head, and suddenly there was a feeling of exhaustion.

   walked out of his room and went downstairs to the outside of the ruling hall.

  Many farmers are busy by the spring water, digging up the sand and silt in the pond with agricultural tools.

   "Master, good morning."

   "Good morning, respected Lord Lord."

   "Good morning, Lord Lord."

   Seeing Kant coming out, they saluted one after another.

   Kant nodded: "Early."

   turned his head to look next to the ruling hall, and the 8-meter-high watchtower had been built.

   This was yesterday, and construction workers from Suno have also left the sentry oasis through the system.

   But their construction technology, indeed did not say.

   The base made of stone, the main body of wood nailing, and the top of the tower like a hut seem to be synonymous with sturdiness and firmness, which is more sophisticated than the workmanship of the watchtower in ordinary villages.

   Now stationed above is a Swadia militia, who is on alert with a crossbow hunting.

  On the stone base of the watchtower, there are also four Swadia recruits carrying spears waiting, they are serving as heralds, and any news will promptly convey the various points of the oasis.

   The 8-meter-high watchtower has a good view.

  Even if the wolfmen's forces gather to attack again, as long as the weather permits, the good-looking militia at the top of the lookout tower can be discovered at a long distance in advance.

   Then there will be time to lay out the defense, so that the attacking jackals eat a big loss.

   "Master, good morning."

  The desert robbers are back on horses.

  At present, they are acting as reconnaissance cavalry. They made a circle around the sentry oasis and found no abnormalities.

   This is undoubtedly good news.

   But the desert robber headed, but looked at Kant frowned and asked: "Adult, please forgive me for taking the liberty, because I found that you seem, some unpleasant?"

   is more than unpleasant, people throughout the oasis have found Kant's gloomy face.

   stems from funding issues.

  Kant nodded slightly, did not deny: "Yes, my mood is a bit bad."

   And this problem, these desert robbers can't solve it.

   Even in this world, there are few solutions.

  At least Kant doesn’t yet know how to exchange the world’s currency for the dinar required by the system.

   As for those big silver coins, gold coins and the like, the system has no reaction at all~www.readwn.com~ When he was in the lion's country, Kant had experimented and asked if the system could be exchanged.

   responded to the system with only two words: "No."

  If you want to get the dinar, you can only pass the system mission.

   "But." Kant sighed: "System tasks are not every day."

   seemed to hear Kant's voice.

On the retina, a dialog box pops up instantly.

  【Ding…Main task release】

   [Temporary Mission: The Value of the Dinar]

  【Bonus: grocery store×1 block】

  【Introduction: The dinar is the only currency, but it is not not convertible. Find an area and pay all your current dinars, you will get the only building to help you solve the current problem. 】

   "Huh?" Kant looked at the information on the retina and frowned.

   This main task...

  Somewhat simple!

   No, it is not simple, but it is almost free!

   "Grocery store?"

   Kant swallowed and suddenly remembered the four kinds of shops in the town market in the previous game.

   The grocery store is one of them.

   glanced across the ruling hall.

   The east side is the watchtower and desert robber stronghold, while the west side is empty.

   "System, built there."

  Kant's thought moved slightly.

   The data stream emerged instantly, as far as he could see. A typical Swadian building made of stone and wood on the west side of the ruling hall appeared there in just a few seconds.
