Chapter 14: The Beast Strikes

Snow now finds a set of white robes to put on, and then holds the crystal cane for the archmage of the church. The big guy www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion will definitely believe that he is a messenger of the gods and has God-given magic.

But Snow was not interested in doing so, because he was not ashamed to be in the company of a group of people in the church, and second, he did not want to deceive the inhabitants with whom he lived day and night. Another point is that he wants to hand over the method of netting in winter to everyone.

After all, fishing in the net is not something that can be done by one person, and although this net has caught hundreds of big fish, it is far from satisfying the food rations of more than 200 people in the town for the winter.

Over the course of an afternoon, Snow gathered all the people in the town who had previously participated in the netting into the open space in front of his room. The big guy drank fish soup and ate grilled fish while accepting what Snow called science.

Combined with the drawing, Snow told Randolph and others all the principles, methods and precautions for netting in winter. But he also kept an eye on how to find the waters where the fish were gathering by the color of the ice, and where to make holes. As the mayor of the town, if you want to establish a high enough prestige, you still have to have some housekeeping skills.

After Snow's detailed explanation, Randolph and the others understood the principle of netting fishing. All of them suddenly realized, this is like a magician's performance. It seems magical, but once the principle is revealed, it becomes very ordinary.

But even so, Randolph and others' admiration for Snow is like a surging river, endless. Of course, I also admire Lao Si Ke, who has been dead for half a year, after all, Snow has said before that this magical fishing method was given to him by his grandfather.

It was busy until the evening, and after everyone had repeatedly saluted Snow, they dispersed with excitement.

Snow returned to the room with a large pot of fish soup, and Yalian was sitting at the table, looking at Snow with a smile on her face.

"That's what science you're talking about, isn't it?" Yalian's eyes were full of admiration, obviously Snow's explanation to everyone in front of the room before fell into her ears, "This is called a scientific thing, it's amazing." ”

"Compared to Miss Yalian's black magic, I'm a pediatrician." Snow put the fish soup in front of Yalian and said modestly.

"My dark magic can't catch so many fish, especially in the frozen winter." Yalian said with a smile.

"Each has its own strengths." Snow personally served a bowl of fish soup and handed it to Yalian, "I stewed it myself, how about it taste." ”

Yalian took the bowl and took a sip elegantly, her eyes lit up, "It's delicious, I didn't expect you to not only know how to fish, build city walls, but also cook so well." ”

"It's so-so, if you praise me again, I'll be proud." Snow joked.

After more than ten days of recuperation, Yalian's injuries have basically recovered. Compared to her pale face before, her flushed face was now more charming, and Snow couldn't help but look stunned again.

Yalian drank the soup and looked up to see Snow staring at her, looking like a nymphomaniac.

"What? Do I have dust on my face? Yalian lowered her head and asked in a low voice.

"Oh, no, no." Snow hurriedly waved his hand and said with some embarrassment.

Yalian looked up at Snow with a ghost in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little funny, and deliberately asked, "Then what are you staring at me?" ”

"That ......" Snow scratched his head, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

At that moment, there was a sudden whistle outside the door. The sharp and rapid voice conveys the panic and anxiety of the whistleblower.

"It's the Guard!" Snow stood up with a thud like a spring. Only the guards patrolling around the town had this kind of whistle capable of making a high-pitched sound. Unless there is an emergency, the escort will not blow the warning whistle. And now in the town of Luke, there are only two kinds of emergencies that can be encountered.

One is a fire, which is too unlikely, and the town's residents have a high awareness of fire prevention, and there has only been one small fire incident in the past few years. It was a few children who played with flint and steel and set a small wooden house on fire.

But now in Rook Town, it was all adults, and Snow didn't see the fire or cries for help. Then there is only the second possibility, a beast attacking. And there is more than one, otherwise the convoy will solve it on its own, and the warning whistle will not be sounded.

"What's going on?" Yalian also stood up and asked with a frown.

"It should be a beast attacking, you go to the second floor and stay, I'll go out and have a look." Snow said with a solemn face, if a large number of beasts really attacked, with the town's current walls less than one person high, it would definitely not be able to stop it. At that time, they will have to rely on forks and hoes and mining tools to engage in hand-to-hand combat with wild beasts.

"I'm going to help too." Yaliano drew his dagger.

"Not now, your identity can't be exposed yet." Although the townspeople are all their own people, this is relative to Snow. The identity of Wizard Yalian will definitely not be accepted by the residents now, and if she leaks out, someone will run to the border city fortress to make a small report, in exchange for money or a place to enter the fortress for refuge. Therefore, without letting everyone accept the grasp of the wizard, Snow will never allow Yalian to be exposed to everyone.

"But ......."

"Nothing." Snow interrupted Yalian's words, took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself, "Don't worry, there is still a period of time before the beginning of winter, and I don't think there will be many beasts coming." You hide first, and if we really can't bear it, you can help. ”

Yalian hesitated, but nodded in agreement. He stepped forward and shoved the dagger in his hand to Snow, looked into his eyes and said, "You must be careful." ”

"Hmm." Snow nodded, patted Yalian's shoulder gently, and turned to run away with the dagger.

As soon as Snow got out of the house, he saw that the whole town rushed out of their rooms in a hurry. The weapons in their hands were also varied, including kitchen knives, harpoons, pickaxes, and more people only had a thick wooden stick in their hands. The big guys greeted each other and ran together to the north of the town where the whistle sounded.

Snow didn't think much about it, and raised his legs to chase the flow of people.

When I came to the north of the town, I saw the residents lying behind the wall, looking out affectionately and nervously. Snow saw Randolph and Abra lying next to each other, and hurriedly squeezed up.

"Mayor Town." In this tense atmosphere, the surrounding residents still did not forget to say hello to Snow. And the expression was very respectful, and the people around him were slightly relieved when they saw Snow arrive, which was the welfare effect attached to Snow's successful fishing.

"What's the situation?" Snow asked, looking at Abra. He noticed an index finger-long whistle around Abra's neck, and it was clear that he was the one in charge of patrolling tonight, and he was the one who blew the warning whistle.

"There are wild beasts, frightened off by my whistle." Abra leaned on the wall, looked at a place outside the town, and said solemnly, "But I didn't leave, I should have hidden." ”

"Do you see what the beast is? How many are there? Snow looked out of the town, and the torches on the fence could only illuminate something less than ten meters away, and beyond that, only a hazy black shadow remained.

"There are quite a few of them, at least more than five." "I also spotted the beast two days ago, and it was all wandering around the town alone, so I didn't care," Abra said. I've just sent people to the other three sides of the town to guard against them, and these beasts are very cunning. ”

Snow nodded, Abra was right. Many beasts in the old mountains and forests also have extremely high IQs, and it is not excluded that they will use their tricks to attack the west.

"Look over there! Above that mound! At this moment, a young man about eighteen years old raised his hand and pointed to a place in the darkness and said with a frightened expression.

Snow and the others hurriedly followed the young man's direction and looked ahead. A small mound was faintly visible not far away, and on top of the mound, a pair of eyes that emitted an eerie green light were looking at them without blinking.
