Chapter 34 Dark Night Sect
Morning Frost Ridge.
In the office, Yeats read the report submitted by Derek, the steward.
In the past month, thanks to the prestige gradually established by the lord, the village has absorbed about fifty households of refugees, and the population has grown substantially. Farmland, mines, smelting workshops, deer farms, and salt farms are all here. Under orderly construction, the potion shop invested by the Starlight Chamber of Commerce has also begun to produce new healing potions in batches.
The cheese industry that Yeats paid close attention to, according to Lena, has aroused good response among the aristocracy, and Yeats will receive a considerable dividend from last month's profits.
But even so, the financial pressure in Chenshuang Ridge is still huge. For example, a box of two hundred gold coins sent by the Lord of Baiye City was used by Yeats to build a deer farm. And at the beginning of spring, a reward worth four hundred gold coins must be given to the villagers who survived the cold wave.
“If you want to further increase the permanent population, you must first persist until the snow melts.” Derek bowed aside, “The current population growth is slow, mainly because the cold wave is still a sharp sword that has not yet fallen. , If Chenshuang Ridge can survive until next summer, I think the population will increase greatly, reaching a town-level population."
Yeats nodded.
The Baron can completely control a town-level fief, and his strength cannot be underestimated.
Even if there are no extraordinary beings, a town-level militia team is enough to deal with a second-level monster.
However, only urban troops and extraordinary people can solve the three-ring monsters.
Yeats fantasized about the scene of the city building at Shuangling in Fanchen, and thought to himself, he should first consider how to fool Hilud.
It is definitely impossible to hire someone, so Yeats can only try to let her cope with the cold wave with Morning Frost Ridge.
What I rely on is of course talent, the spirit of medicine... ah no, the spirit of food.
Lena and Valkyrie will arrive at Morning Frost Ridge tonight. Yeats calls Phocas and tells him that he will be away from the territory for about three weeks. During this period, Phocas will stay at Morning Frost Ridge.
Phokas raised doubts: "Master, why don't you let me go with you?"
"The training of the militia and the garrison in the village can only be trusted by you."
< br> Yeats used the "CUP method" commonly used by his bosses and patted Forkas on the shoulder: "Do a good job and wait for me when I come back." You bring the specialties of the north!"
The old knight's eyes were a little moved, and he said, "Please wait a moment, young master."
Not long after, Phokas brought back a handicraft. The knitted woolen sweater was handed over to Yeats: "It's cold in the north, so please bring this sweater with you."
Yeats was surprised and said: "You made it up yourself?"
"It's just some insignificant craftsmanship." Forkas said.
Yeats held the sweater in his hand, looked at it carefully, and praised it again and again.
As expected of an old knight from the Golden Lion area, he has the traditional skill of "knitting sweaters"!
Before Yeats had time to be moved, an urgent message forced him to come to Granny Giselle's herbal shop.
On the hospital bed in the back room of the herbal shop, there were many civilians with pale faces and painful expressions lying on the beds. Little Red Riding Hood stood aside with a staff in hand, using micro-treatment techniques one by one. Looking at the patients who were moaning softly, there was sadness in her blue eyes. color.
Yeats learned about the situation and learned that this was a symptom of poisoning, and asked: "Where is the source of the poisoning?"
"I think it is most likely the river outside the village, and the water source is polluted. "Giselle said, "Miss Gray came just now, and I have asked her to go and have a look outside the village."
Water pollution is not a trivial matter, Yeats rode on his mule and hurried to the outside of the village, sighing to himself. The mount matter had to be put on the agenda, and Gray was soon seen near the source of the stream.
Gray crossed his arms and looked down at the water with a serious expression.
Seeing Yeats from the corner of her eye, Gray said:
"The situation is a bit troublesome, Yeats. A poisonous monster ran into the river. There was no way to force it out for the time being. It's not clear what kind of monster it is. ."
"It's okay, I'm prepared." Yeats took out a fishing rod made of fir, "Watch me fish it out!"
Grey was stunned and said strongly. Suspect.
Does fishing really work in this situation? !
Yeats' knowledge of food and drink included not only potions but also aquatic creatures, and his fishing skills were enhanced by this.
Although he cannot compare with the fishing master, he is still a three-ring fishing master. With bait, catching a one-ring monster is easy!
Yeats sat on the ground in the grass by the river, fishing with a pole, and ripples appeared on the water.
The situation fell into silence.
Gray: "I've told you before, World of Warcraft is not stupid, how could it be... huh?!"
Wow——
The words have not yet finished.
The water splashed everywhere, and a ball of egg-yellow coelenterate with tentacles with wasp-like stings was tightly wrapped around the fishing hook and was taken out of the water.
I actually caught it!
Gray's eyes widened and she said loudly: "Why can a ball of jellyfish be caught?!"
Yeats dragged it ashore. Seeing this monster, Yeats was stunned for a moment. It turned out to be a ring of wasp jellyfish, a dangerous poison in the ocean.
Yeats soon realized something was wrong.
Why do jellyfish appear in the river?
Solve it first... Yeats sent a message in his heart, and the summoned snow-white owl flew across the blue sky and flew from a distance, its yellow eyes full of evil energy.
"Bird, don't blame me for waking you up. If you want to blame me, blame this wasp and jellyfish - it's up to you!"
With Yeats's order, the snow owl flapped its wings and cut out the sharp moon blade, condensing The sharp moonlight struck the wasp and jellyfish.
With a pop, the venom splashed everywhere, the surrounding grass withered, and the venom vaporized, making a pop sound.
The wasp and jellyfish were neatly dealt with, and the snowy owl stopped on a nearby treetop, closed its eyes and fell asleep.
When Yeats saw this, he was filled with emotion.
My snowy owl is worthy of being chosen by the moonlight gods. It doesn’t get sleepy only when the moonlight comes out!
Gray squatted on the ground, picked up a branch, poked the wasp jellyfish, and after confirming that it was completely cool, she said inexplicably:
"Yeats, I still don't understand, fishing Can you also catch wasp jellyfish? ”
“This is what a fisherman is like.”
Yeats paused, touched his chin and said: “But, this wasp jellyfish that appeared in the river is indeed suspicious. I can’t rule out that it is Man-made.”
"You want to say that this was done by the followers of the Night Goddess, right?" Gray said angrily, "Those people like poisoning and murder and other despicable acts. According to the law, they should be arrested and sentenced severely!"
Yeats: "..."
I didn't think about it that way, but Gray's words reminded me.
The followers of the Dark Night Goddess, called the [Dark Night Sect], are an underground organization composed of a group of thieves, thieves, poisoners, and warlocks. They are classified as heretics by the Church of the Holy Light. Anyone who believes in the Holy Light is These evil enemies should be fought.
The Dark Night Sect is indeed a group of dark characters, sacrificing human beings, poisoning water sources, assassinating political figures... They will do anything to please the goddess of the night.
However, Chenshuang Ridge is located on the border of the kingdom, and the Dark Night Sect also appeared here?
If this wasp jellyfish was deliberately put into the river, then it must be to target Chenshuang Ridge. Aren't the batches of poisoned villagers the best living sacrifices?
Yeats's ideas gradually became clear.
My birds have just been blessed by the moonlight, and they come looking for trouble in the dark night, right?
With the protection of moonlight, Yeats felt more confident.
In addition, the Valkyrie is coming tonight. She and Gray have the same destiny. To her, the cultists are just monsters who give away experience.
Yeats ordered: "The matter is over, take the wasp jellyfish back."
Gray's face suddenly changed: "You don't want to...eat the wasp jellyfish Right?"
Yeats smiled slightly: "I'll rely on it for dinner tonight."
"No, this time the wasp jellyfish is poisonous from head to tentacles! "Gray's face turned pale.
Yeats said calmly: "I wouldn't eat it if it wasn't poisonous."
Based on my understanding of the spirit of food, dishes made from this poison will most likely increase poison resistance.
If this dish can permanently improve poison resistance, then wasp jellyfish is not poison to me, but a great tonic!
Gray:? ? ?
Are you a believer in the goddess of night and poison?
Deep in the forest.
The dark night priestess in black clothes and black robes wears the god-given magic 'veil of night', which perfectly hides her presence and traces.
The wasp jellyfish she contracted was killed easily, which made the priestess become more vigilant and did not dare to attack the noble boy rashly.
This living sacrifice in the Jueling Mountains is related to the Dark Night Sect's grand plan, but I didn't expect that something went wrong in the Morning Frost Ridge.
Her heart felt cold. She continued to listen to the conversation between the two, and suddenly froze in place.
"They plan to eat...wasp jellyfish?"
The priestess was in a strange mood.
Even the Dark Night Bishop dare not eat this kind of poison. If you dare to eat it, you are more powerful than the Dark Night Bishop!
