BXBX NOVEL Chapter 29 - A Happy Surprise
It was a cold day as usual, Demeter and Artemis when to do their own thing. Alfonso, had delayed the population census for a couple of days so it was time to implemented, he had Ribi to called for Deferio.
"My lord" Say Deferio while kneeling
"Deferio, today I want you and the soldiers to help me with something, I want you to go to every single house in this town and record every single member, then, separate it in three categories, children, adults and elders, then disturb thus two in males and females, after that, record the occupations of the family, who works and what they do, lastly, I want you to ask them what is the most crucial thing that they want to improve in this town." Say Alfonso.
"Your wish is my command" Say Deferio.
After the battle with the horde, Deferio became complete loyal to Alfonso, he didn\'t know why his lord wanted this information, however, he didn\'t need to know, he will just carry his order as his loyal servant.
"Very good, bring the reports by the end of the day" Say Alfonso.
After he bit farewell to Deferio, he began to read the agriculture book once again, although he didn\'t need to anymore, he was quite the book-worm when he was on earth, so he liked to read a lot. After one hour, he closed the book and then stood up and looked outside of his window.
"I want to establish 5 ministries in this town: Agriculture and Livestock, Economy, Civil, Exportation and Medicine. I have already set the first stones in Agriculture and Economy, I will have Demeter in charge of the first one, I will to find someone to the second one, maybe myself. Civil will be the ones who are in charge of construction and infrastructures of the town, I have in mind who will the one in charge of that, I only hope that I get him earlier than the other gods; Exportation while in charge of trading and making good relationships with other towns, also, they will be the ones who export the unique kind of goods that this town will produce in the future; as for the last one, is maybe the most crucial one, if we think about it, in the medieval era, what killed the most wasn\'t the wars , it was the diseases, who will not know about the black pest, who killed 2% of the global population….. The problem is that I have cero knowledge in medicine, and, as far as I know , there is not god of medicine in the Greek mythology, some people said that it was Higia, however, there is a lot of discussion about this, I can\'t put my bet in something I am unsure, I asked the system this, however, it refused to tell me which gods it had….. I have in mind someone who may have the knowledge that we need, after all, she is the most intelligent god among the ones in the Olympus" Thought Alfonso.
After some time, he was about to go back to read when little blue, little red and little blacky came, they were chirping happily, they looked for Alfonso, as if they were asking something. Alfonso looked at them for some time, and then he figured it out.
"If you are looking for Artemis, she went to the forest with the wolves to hunt for food" Say Alfonso.
He pondered If they could understand him, surprisingly, they could. After nodding, they left, however, little blue stayed, it when to Alfonso\'s shoulder and began to chirp. Alfonso was taken back, he wondered about why didn\'t this little fellow go with its friends, however, after looking it for some time, he found that this little fellow was surprisingly cute, he tried to fondle it, little blue didn\'t resist and chirp happily, Alfonso lift his hand and little blue sat in his hand, looking straight at him.
"Little fellow, you may not be as intelligent as Cerberus, however, you are not stupid either.... Mmmm?... maybe..." Alfonso suddenly thought of an idea.
He went to his desk and write a small message, then he grabbed a thread and tied up the message on little blue\'s foot.
"Little fellow, you know Demeter, right?" Asked Alfonso.
"Chirp-Chirp!" Say little blue.
"Good, I have a favor to ask, please send this message to her, she is in the agriculture zone, 15 minutes from here, can you do it?" Asked Alfonso with a smile.
"Chirp!" Say enthusiastically little blue, like a kid who was doing he\'s first errand.
Alfonso opens the window and little blue flew to the agriculture zone.
"This bring a memory to my head, back in the ancient Greek, pigeons were used to convey the winners of the Olympic games. However, to train the pigeons, one needed a lot of time, this could be the beginning of a communication service!" Thought Alfonso.
After 20 minutes, Little blue came back with a message in its foot, Alfonso took the note and read it.
I am fine~ I will be back in two hours~
- Demeter.
It was a short message, however Alfonso couldn\'t help but smile kindly, after that he looked at little blue and fondled its head, then he stood up and went outside.
"Well, I need to walk, even if it\'s just a little bit, I need to distress myself after all, would you accompany me, little blue?" Asked Alfonso.
"Chirp!" Say loudly little blue.
After 20 minutes Alfonso, went to its throne, just as he sat down, Deferio was back.
