"Iron Wall General" Ernie? Arno Cain, the head of the Arno Caine of the Iron Wall, a powerful Golden Knight! It was a bit unexpected that such an adult would appear in the port of Ancona. And what does the big man seem to be investigating "personally"?

You can imagine that the military chief of a country personally goes to a small country town and personally asks the town's police chief about a case, and then personally meets the police officer in charge of the case. It's crazy!

Alicia felt that she must be hallucinating, but judging by the expression on the mayor's face, it didn't seem to be a hallucination. And this caused Alicia to have some not-so-good associations.

The Great Wall is very long, and the knights of the Ryedi family alone are not enough to fully guarantee the safety of the Great Wall, so after the fall of the north, many nobles have sent some family knights to lead the army to assist the Ray Eddy family in the defense of the Great Wall, and the Iron Wall family is no exception. However, it should only be the family knights who lead the army to assist in the defense, like the "Iron Wall General" Ernie? A big man like Arnold Caine shouldn't be here. The appearance of such a big man can only show that something big has happened!

It's not going to be a war, is it? Those demons have already begun to attack the Great Wall of Rui Aidi? Or is it that our kingdom intends to carry out a counteroffensive? Or is there any turmoil in the upper echelons of the kingdom?

Alicia didn't ask, and she didn't dare to ask, so she could only hold a nervous mood and honestly take General Tiebi to the militia camp, and took General Tiebi to visit the newly established Adventure Guild.

In the Adventure Guild, the military man looked at the commission on the wall, and Alicia carefully accompanied the general.

"You're doing a great job!" General Tiebi said suddenly.

Alicia: "I'm flattered by your compliments. ”

Puerto Ancona is the territory of the "Great Wall Family" Ray Eddy family, and Alicia does not need to follow the orders of the Arnocaine family, but it is still a little flattering to be praised by a golden knight.

"The world is mutating, and the kingdom is bearing the brunt of this mutation."

Hearing General Tiebi's words, Alicia's eyes flashed with a gleam: "Recently, there have indeed been more and more abnormal events in the city. ”

"Abnormal events are just appearances, and the demons are the root of all abnormalities! Because of the appearance of those demons, the concentration of magic power in the whole world is getting higher and higher, but those people in the south are turning a blind eye to this! So we have to prepare for the worst. ”

Why did it suddenly get to the south? Alicia was a little dazed.

The world is mutating, which many people are aware of, and the source of the mutation comes from a new race in the north - the demons.

The Kingdom of Northbold suffered a great loss at the hands of the demons, losing a large part of the territory in the north, and could only retreat to the south of the Great Wall of Reedi, defending the danger. The demons did not cross the Great Wall of Ray Eddy, but the invisible magic came to the south with the north wind.

Too high a concentration of mana is not a good thing, as it can lead to all sorts of anomalies.

Different people have different feelings about the mutation. As the high-ranking of the kingdom, General Tiebi saw the danger of order collapsing; Alicia, as a civil servant, saw in it a path to rising power; And the ordinary farmer sees all kinds of strange dangers!

The people who feel this mutation most deeply are not those "big people" who have broad horizons, but those who live at the bottom of society.

Richie is such a farmer who is deeply troubled by "mutations".

As a farmer with a farm, Richie has a very happy life, and he has no interest in magic or mutations, but since the "mutation" happened, Richie's life has begun to slide towards an invisible trajectory.

The big root in the field (a vegetable shaped like a radish) suddenly learns to escape, and the animals become ferocious, but the most terrifying thing is that there are more "invisible creatures" in the house!

Vegetables that can run away can be knocked down with a stick, and the "big roots that escape" will become "dead big roots". Ferocious animals are more troublesome, and the rats that become about the size of a puppy are really scary, but rats are just rats after all, and in the countless battles of wits and courage, it is Richie's stick that finally prevails. But those things that can't be seen are terrible!

Richie didn't know what it was, all he knew was that every time he got home, there were traces of things being moved.

Richie tried to ambush the object, but never found it, but as soon as Richie left the house or woke up from sleep, he would find that the contents of the house had been moved.

That's horrible!

Richie worries that if he sleeps, he will never see the next day's sun. Richie was scared, and Richie's wife and daughter were so scared that they even fled back to their parents' house — it was so bad, very bad. Because it meant that Richie couldn't play some fun games with his wife at night, and there was nothing worse than that in the middle of a long night.

The vigilantes won't help Richie, just as they won't help Richie get rid of the ferocious rats in the vegetable patch, and Richie will have to figure it out on his own. But Richie is just an ordinary farmer, what can he do? After stuffing the militia with a few copper coins, the vigilante militiamen introduced Richie with another option: issuing a commission through the newly created Adventure Guild.

It's not a good idea, but it's better than no way.

It costs a lot of money to issue a commission, and Richie doesn't have a lot of money to issue a commission. Rich wasn't very sure if anyone would be willing to accept his commission, but wasn't there really no way? If you don't get rid of the "dirty" things at home, your wife and daughter won't dare to go home, so you have to spend a long night alone in an empty house every night!

Oh, maybe the house isn't empty, because there's a strange guest living in it who doesn't know what it is. But if he could, Richie would have preferred that the unseen guest would get out!

Originally, Richie thought that he would have to wait a long time for the adventurer who drove away the villains in his house, and he might never be able to wait. But to Richie's surprise, only two days later, someone came to visit.

A very weak-looking young man, I guess the ladies would like it, and two very beautiful maids. Yes, it's beautiful! Seeing the two beautiful women with skin as white as milk, Richie felt his breathing become rapid, but the clothes on their bodies and the weapons in their hands made Richie dare not express his thoughts.

Gorgeous clothing represents not only money, but also status and strength commensurate with it. Richie couldn't understand why a big man like this would take a mission he had posted, because the commissioner couldn't even afford to buy even a shoe on their feet - Richie, if I'm not mistaken, the shoes seemed to be the dragon leather boots that were in the window of Ganzros's tailor's shop!

"I heard there's an interesting thing in your house?" At Richie's door, Green smiled and waved the power of attorney in his hand.

"Yes, sir." Richie's attitude was good. Although I don't know why these rich people with brain problems received the task, it has somewhat increased Richie's confidence. Since they have the money, this task should not be difficult for them.

Powerful people are not necessarily rich, but rich people are certainly powerful - by smart Richie.

"Good. Don't mind if I search your house, right? ”

"Of course, of course! Come in. Richie hurriedly moved out of the way so that the group of "rich people with brain problems" in front of him could enter.

As a wealthy farmer, the Richie family's house was not bad, but it was a little dirty because of the hostess's long absence.

"I don't know exactly what's going on in the house because that thing only comes out when I'm not home or asleep." Richie babbled on and on about the situation to Green, "At first we thought there was a thief in the house, because there was less food in the house, and some of my wife's jewelry was missing......"

Richie seems to have some tendency to talk.

In the midst of Richie's babbling nonsense, Green and Chikage thoroughly inspect Richie's house. Both Grimm and Chikage have the ability to see something special, but Grimm doesn't find anything special. Apparently, the little thing that lives in Richie's house seems to be very good at hiding itself.

"Looks like we'll have to wait for that little thing to come out on its own." Green turned to Richie and said, "Sir, I think we need to stay at your house for one night and see if we can find that little thing." ”

"I'm not some 'sir,' just call me Richie. Do you need me to arrange a room for you? Although my wife was not at home, the room was very clean. ”

"Okay." Greene paused, "And dinner." I don't think you will make us hungry, right? ”

"Of course, of course." Richie nodded, "Do you like eating big roots?" ”

"Big root" is a vegetable that resembles a radish because it is very large and buried in the soil like the roots, so it is called a large root. The large root will have a slight bitter taste when eaten raw, but the large root will have a hint of sweetness when cooked, and it is a very common vegetable.

Greene: "Okay. I'm not a picky eater. ”

Rich: "Oh, that's great. My daughter has always disliked eating big roots, but my wife is very fond of eating big roots. Sometimes my wife will wash the big roots directly and eat them raw. She said that although the raw roots have a slightly bitter taste, they have a special sense of satisfaction after swallowing them. ”
