A Beekeeper in a Magical World Chapter 195: The people who corrupted McCanger Village

Chapter 196 The people who corrupted McCanger Village

Things are not complicated.

As the old woman said, all changes began with the pair of traveling businessmen, master and apprentice.

Before that, the people in the village were grateful and in awe of the hot spring.

They have long known about the healing properties of hot springs, but have never been able to find out why.

The pool is filled with ordinary hot spring water and will lose its healing properties if transported to other places.

It is also puzzling that no one must be observing for it to take effect.

So, the villagers adopted the most primitive explanation and regarded it as a gift from the gods - other than that, they couldn't think of any other possibility.

The days passed so simply.

Until one day, two dwarves drove a pig cart to McCange Village.

One old and one young, they introduced themselves as traveling businessmen.

That day was already at the end of the Ice Age, not far from the Chaos Period, and it happened to be a blizzard.

They came to escape the snowstorm.

This village is very remote, and it is rare for outsiders to come as guests, let alone traveling merchants with many goods. Although there is not much money in the village, they may be able to exchange items for some useful goods.

So the villagers warmly received the dwarf master and apprentice.

A sumptuous dinner was prepared at the village chief's house to welcome them.

McCanger Village is located against a fertile mountainous area. There are many hunters in the village, so there is no shortage of meat.

The two dwarves feasted.

At the table, some villagers mentioned the legend of the hot spring hotel.

It was just casual chatting.

Unexpectedly, this statement actually solved the mystery of the hot spring that had troubled the villagers for a long time.

The dwarf didn’t know what method he used to uncover the reason why hot spring water can cure diseases.

The key is not the hot spring water, nor is it a blessing from the gods.

But a flower essence.

The flower essence will appear quietly without anyone observing and heal injuries and illnesses.

The dwarf returned to the village and announced the truth.

The whole village was shocked.

After all, our ancestors have lived here for generations and have never seen flower essences in the mountains.

I didn’t find any strange flowers on the mountain.

The dwarf said that there must be rare flowers near the hot spring, and encouraged the villagers to go up the mountain to look for them. If they found them, he would be willing to spend a lot of money to buy them.

Motivated by profit, the villagers almost turned out in droves, even the children, to launch a blanket search around the hot spring hotel.

But nothing was found.

The dwarf master and apprentice did not stay in the village for too long. Before leaving, they said with emotion: "The commercial value of that hot spring hotel is very high. If it is well run, it can attract a large number of people to come, thus driving your entire village to become rich."

The villagers did not understand what he meant at first.

Although hot spring hotels can treat injuries and illnesses, strictly speaking, this is not a particularly powerful effect.

Many potions can do this - the largest variety of potions in the world are healing.

Not to mention some magic spells, there are also many folk methods to cure diseases.

If people outside are injured, they won’t have to come all the way here for treatment!

Let’s not talk about the cost of the round trip and whether it is cost-effective. What if the condition worsens on the way?

The old dwarf must have patiently given them guidance in order to repay the enthusiasm of the villagers:

The point is not the healing power itself.

It lies in the fact that "flower spirits show up to provide healing."

First of all, flower essences are rare, which arouses the curiosity of many people.

And there is a rule that the flower essence will appear only when no one is observing it - this strange rule adds a bit of mysterious tension to the whole thing.

Finally, the hot spring hotel in the mountains itself is also a selling point.

Rare flower essence + hot spring hotel + strange rules.

The combination of these three aspects is already attractive enough.

As long as the publicity spreads, more and more people will come to visit.
