Chapter 396: Something Strange Happens
This is the law of the jungle, and it applies in any world.
"That being the case, it is imperative to seek strong refuge...... Just like that Kate. Li Lin grabbed his hair and fell into deep thought.
If he can join a force similar to the Flame Temple like Kate, he won't have to worry about being plotted.
The Flame Temple, but it has been a long-standing force from ancient times to the present, and it is said that the Flame Temple enshrines a god, and even the royal family of the Wind Chasing Kingdom is courteous.
"Butler Tucson, isn't there any news from the Storm Temple yet?" Li Lin suddenly raised his head and asked.
The Storm Temple, the status of the Flame Temple is similar, although I heard that the Storm Temple has been somewhat weakened because of the fall of the gods a few years ago, but it is also an ancient force with a long heritage, and ordinary people do not dare to offend it easily.
"Young Master, the Storm Temple is located in the far west of the Great Wind Valley, even if you want to send someone, it will take at least half a month, so you can't be in a hurry. The Tucson butler said calmly: "In addition, there are several magicians in the royal family who are interested in you and want to take you as a student, do you want to meet the people they sent?"
Royal family?
Forget it.
That was the territory of the fourth prince Mengqi, Li Lin was too late to dodge, and he was stupid and bumped up? I don't know how he died when the time comes!
"Tell them I'm not well and come back at a later date. Li Lin waved his hand and said, then yawned, looking really tired.
After all, this body is not the original body, and if a ten-year-old child does not sleep enough, it is easy to get tired.
He barely slept in the past few days, and in addition to repairing books to greet the Storm Temple, he also had to contact some "players" who were almost certain to write books to create the heavenly world, to see if he could find a few allies.
The situation is urgent, and he can't afford to take his time.
He wants to become the most influential "player" in the shortest possible time!
"That's right, young master. Before leaving the study, the Tucson butler suddenly turned his head and said, "I just forgot to tell you that Apalia, the son of the director of the Starlight Library, wrote that he would be looking for time to visit you in the near future, and he asked when you were free?"
Li Lin was lying on the table to rest for a while, but when he heard this, he suddenly perked up.
It's finally here!
----
Appalia is Li Lin's name in the blue circle, and Li Lin is naturally very concerned about this person who may become an ally.
Of course, you still have to meet to know how to know.
After asking the butler of Tucson to reply to the Starlight Library, Li Lin walked to the small bed in the corner of the study to sleep, he had been eating, drinking and sleeping in the study for the past few days, the situation was a little urgent, and he did not want to waste a trace of time.
It's just that not long after he lay down, the Tucson butler came in again.
"Young Master, please wake up. The Tucson butler's voice was faintly audible.
Li Lin rubbed his eyes, but didn't get up, he said sleepily, "What's the matter?"
"There is something wrong with the vineyards to the west of the town of Aleen, and I would like you to come and see it. Tucson Butler said.
"Something is wrong, how can such a thing come to me?" Li Lin buried his head in the pillow, "What about the town's guards? Captain Hyde?"
"Mr. Hyde is dead. The Tucson butler said with a calm face.
"What?" Li Lin suddenly jumped up from the bed and said in disbelief, "You said Hyde is dead?"
"Yes, half a day ago, Mr. Hyde led his convoy to the vineyard to the west, but not long after, his body was found in the mud outside the vineyard. Tucson Butler said.
Li Lin frowned when he heard this.
Hyde is the captain of the town's guards, he has been in the guards for nearly thirty years, and he is an experienced fifth-level fire magician, for a more remote town like Alean, the fifth level is already a powerhouse.
However, that fifth-level magician actually died?
"Not only that, but most of the guards were killed and wounded, and the survivors became delirious, and no one knew what was happening in the vineyard. The Tucson steward hesitated for a moment when he said this, and then said: "Young master, the master has already gone to ask for the rescue of the Temple of Light, but the people from the Temple of Light will not arrive until at least two days later...... Of course, it's your life's safety. ”
Li Lin didn't speak, he was thinking about how to deal with this matter.
He knew what Dempsey III was thinking, and the old man was not going to send his son to death, but because he really couldn't let go of the vineyards to the west.
Alean is mainly for tourism and trade, among which Alean wine is the most famous, it can be said that wine alone supports most of the economy of Alean town, and now that the vineyard is in trouble, Dempsey III is naturally nervous.
In addition, Dempsey IV is a "seventh-level magician", so it is natural for Dempsy III to use his crooked brains on his own son.
The people of the Temple of Light would not arrive until two days later, but the situation in the vineyard could not afford to delay for a moment.
If the vineyards had been in case, the town of Alean would have been half abandoned.
"Steward Tucson, may I ask what happened to the vineyard, how did you find out in the first place, and who found out?" Li Lin raised his head and quickly asked three questions.
Although the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, Li Lin felt that it was necessary for him to grasp the situation.
The town of Alean will be his development place for a long time, and he can't allow any unknown dangers to lurk, maybe the anomalies in the vineyard are caused by other "players", and Li Lin can't be cautious.
"The vineyard had been cut off from the town of Alean yesterday afternoon, and all the merchants and workers who had gone there had been silenced, and it was not until this morning that the convoy went to inspect it, but as I had just mentioned, Mr. Hyde and the rest of the convoy were found in the mud outside the vineyard, and were found breathless...... The other half of the surviving team members came out of the vineyard on their own, but they were not only insane, but also aggressive, and have now been imprisoned. The Tucson steward paused and continued: "The man who noticed the abnormality of the vineyard was a boy named Moreland, whose father was a wine-making worker, and when his father was working in the vineyard, Moreland would play outside the vineyard. ”
"But after working hours yesterday afternoon, Moreland's father did not come out of the vineyard, and Moreland felt that something was wrong, but he did not dare to go into the vineyard by himself, so he went back to the small town of Yalean to ask for help. However, most of the people thought it was just a prank by Moreland, so they didn't take it seriously, and it wasn't until the evening that everyone realized that none of the people who had entered the vineyard had really returned. ”
"After waiting all night to make sure that no one had returned, this morning a convoy led by Mr. Hyde went to check on the ...... The follow-up is what you know, young master. ”
"Young Master, please allow me to make a suggestion, the situation in the vineyard is unknown, and there may be a great terror lurking, I think it is better to wait until the support of the Temple of Light arrives before taking action. The Tucson butler concluded.
The fact that the Tucson steward can say this shows that he is an absolute diehard loyalist of Dempsey IV, after all, the Dempsey family is still in power for the third generation, and he can speak behind the will of the third, and the Tucson steward has clearly stated his position.
The vineyard is important, but it is also important for the safety of Dempsey IV.
"I know, Butler Tucson. Li Lin pondered for a moment and quickly decided, "Give me a list of the escorts, remember to mark the names of the dead and survivors separately, and in addition, I want to meet the boy named Moreland." ”
"Follow your instructions. The Tucson butler bent over and was about to leave the study.
"Wait!" Li Lin raised his head, as if thinking of something, and said, "Captain Hyde, where are their corpses?
"Their bodies were also laid out in the mud outside the vineyard, covered only with a white cloth. Seeing Li Lin frowning, the Tucson butler immediately explained: "This is to prevent the corpse from being infected with the plague technique, you must know that the only light mage in the town is Mr. Tom, if the plague spreads, it will be a catastrophe." ”
